About This Book

An eyewitness recollection blends a vivid personal account of the chaotic retreat at the first major volunteer engagement with broader reflections on Northern attitudes at the war's outbreak. The narrative follows a journey to find and bring home a fallen local soldier, conveying popular naiveté and the shock of realizing that citizens were being killed. Interwoven are contemporary speeches that trace the rupture from hopes for peace to a reluctant acceptance of armed conflict and eventual commitment to emancipation, showing how public opinion, idealism, and political calculation shifted in the war's early days.
