Beskrivelse af Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860 to 1861
Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860 to 1861 is a historical book written by Abner Doubleday. The book is a personal account of the author's experiences during the American Civil War, specifically his time stationed at Forts Sumter and Moultrie in South Carolina. Doubleday was a Union Army officer and was present during the first shots fired at Fort Sumter, which marked the beginning of the Civil War. In the book, he describes the events leading up to the attack on Fort Sumter, the preparations made by the Union soldiers, and the subsequent battle that lasted for two days. He also provides insights into the daily life of soldiers stationed at the forts, including their living conditions, duties, and relationships with their fellow soldiers. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War and provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in American history.1876. A West Point graduate, Doubleday was at Fort Sumter when it was attacked, signaling the beginning of the Civil War. He aimed the first Union gun fired in defense of the fort. A staunch abolitionist, he served in numerous campaigns throughout the Civil War, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1863. After the war, he attained the rank of colonel before retiring from active service in December 1873. Doubleday is most famously remembered for being credited with inventing the game of baseball in 1839 at Cooperstown, New York, but it is thought that this is almost certainly untrue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
