Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Brief Record of the Army Life of Charles B. Amory The Presidential Campaign of 1860 was a most exciting one. The people of the South were very much afraid that if the Republican Party was successful in electing Mr. Lincoln, the institution of slavery would be in great danger, and their leading men openly declared in case he was elected, the Slave States would secede from the Union and war must be the result. When the election took place and Lincoln was made President, people prepared for war and the young men of the North began joining militia companies and learning the duties of soldiers. I joined the New England Guard Battalion, as in this organization were many of my friends. In the Spring of 1861, the Battalion, under command of Maj. Thos. G. Stevenson, was ordered to garrison Fort Independence in Boston Harbor and I went with it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
