About this book
Captains of the Civil War, A Chronicle of the Blue and the Gray, is by William Wood. The preface opens with the guns that thundered round Fort Sumter, which began the third and greatest modern civil war fought by English-speaking people.
The text says that on the nineteenth of April the Sixth Massachusetts were attacked by a mob in Baltimore. The text calls Maryland a border slave State out of which the District of Columbia was carved. A battle passage says Lee and Jackson, though far apart, gave the word for the final charge at almost the same moment, and Lee's men took up the double-quick with Stonewall Jackson! Jackson! Jackson! as their battle cry. The index lists entries for Island Number Ten and for Iuka (Mississippi), battle.
