Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of vivid and personal stories from the author's time spent in the midst of Washington D.C. during the American Civil War. Beyond its literary value, it provides a unique historical perspective on the personal and societal effects of that tumultuous period, told through the lens of real people caught up in the conflict. The author witnessed many defining moments of the war from its earliest days, including the arrival of Ellsworth's Zouaves, the capture and death of Col. Ellsworth, the great fire at Willard's Hotel, and the funeral of Ellsworth. It is an eye-opening personal account of life in the capital of a nation at war with itself, with a particular eye towards the role of women, families, and the experiences of both soldiers and civilians. The book also gives insights into the political and military events of the time, with the author sharing revealing interactions with major historical figures such as Stonewall Jackson and General Martindale.
