Hard cover in fine condition with gray boards and gold gilt spine lettering. Text block clean and tight. No markings noted. Dust jacket in likewise fine condition. * From the Introduction, ""Eleven years after the close of the Civil War, Abner Doubleday wrote 'Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860-61.' According to Doubleday, he wrote the book "". . .to record the facts and incidents connected with the first conflict of the Rebellion . . . aware that later and more absorbing events have caused the earlier struggles of the war to recede in the distance . . . "" From 1865 to the present day, the opening events of the Civil War have received scant attention while stories of the great campaigns, records of battles and leaders have dominated bookshelves. . . . In comparison, published material about Fort Sumter and Charleston's military history circa 1861 is extremely limited. The firing on Fort Sumter is the one exception. [This volume] provides a detailed account of the military events leading up to and including the bombardment of Fort Sumter. It also contains detailed biographical information on Major Robert Anderson. Today copies of the first edition and the 1976 reprint of Doubleday's book are rare. For that reason, the reprinting of this book by The Nautical & Aviation Publishing Company makes a significant contribution to the study of this defining moment in United States history.""
