About This Item
1876 1ed Abner Doubleday Civil War Gettysburg Reminiscences Fort Sumter Moultrie
Abner Doubleday was a 19th-century American Army officer known for his role in the Civil War, especially the Battle of Gettysburg. Following his military career, Doubleday wrote autobiographical sketches of his experiences in battle, including "Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie". As captain at Fort Sumter, Doubleday made pivotal decisions that helped direct Union forces of the Confederacy.
Per Nevins of this work,
"This charming story, by a then-captain of artillery inside the two forts, is a memoir of merit because of the aura of its immediacy and intimacy."
