Now that the prejudices and bitter partisan feeling of the past are subsiding, it seems a fitting time to record the facts and incidents connected with the first conflict of the Rebellion. Of the eleven officers who took part in the events herein narrated, but four now survive. Before the hastening years shall have partially obliterated many circumstances from my memory, and while there is still an opportunity for conference and friendly criticism, I desire to make, from letters, memoranda, and documents in my possession, a statement which will embody my own recollections of the turbulent days of 1860 and 1861.

Doubleday was an unsung hero of the Civil War. Apparently Howard disliked him but Howard’s own history is spotted. He gives a good account and the reader is excellent (as usual).

Wonderful account of the events leading up to the bombardment of Ft Sumter from Capt Abner Doubleday of the US Army.
