First Blood: The Story of Fort Sumter

W.A. Swanberg

4.9/5 (17267 ratings)

Description:Highly acclaimed account of the 1st battle of the American Civil War. Swanberg was best known as a biographer, particularly of scoundrels, but he also was a writer of history. First Blood, sandwiched between two of his scoundrel biographies, is the story of the events leading up to the firing on Ft Sumter that began the Civil War & was the 1st of his histories. Critical reception was as good as one could hope for a book about the War. "In the huge field of Civil War literature," wrote Time, "First Blood stands out as the most cohesive account of Sumter." A large part of the book's strength is the skillful narrative, a practice he learned doing hack writing & editing during 30s. He won a Pulitzer in 1973 for Luce & His Empire, a biography of Henry Luce.MapDamnation to the Yankees We hate each other so The unluckiest man I picked him myselfA free-love arrangementThe honor-savers Where's the fire?Peaceably, if possibleNo time for tea My compliments to the governorMen do go mad Fleas in their earsBlessings on you anyhowThe disgust of Captain DoubledaySumter is not for sale Let the major declare warThe South Carolina gentlemenThe peacemakers The lion & the lamb"Hold, occupy & possess" A dear, delightful place To move by the seaWait & seeEleven codfishLet the strife beginThe end of long doubt Virtue vs vice Gentlemen, return to your batteriesApril 14, 1861April 14, 1865BibliographyNotesAcknowledgmentsIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
