À propos de ce produit

Product Information

As the United States marks the 150th anniversary of our defining national drama, 1861 presents a gripping and original account of how the Civil War began. 1861 is an epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields. Early in that fateful year, a second American revolution unfolded, inspiring a new generation to reject their parents' faith in compromise and appeasement, to do the unthinkable in the name of an ideal. It set Abraham Lincoln on the path to greatness and millions of slaves on the road to freedom. The book introduces us to a heretofore little-known cast of Civil War heroes--among them an acrobatic militia colonel, an explorer's wife, an idealistic band of German immigrants, a regiment of New York City firemen, a community of Virginia slaves, and a young college professor who would one day become president. Adam Goodheart takes us from the corridors of the White House to the slums of Manhattan, from the mouth of the Chesapeake to the deserts of Nevada, from Boston Common to Alcatraz Island, vividly evoking the Union at this moment of ultimate crisis and decision.

Reviews
advance praise for Adam Goodheart's 1861   " 1861 is the best book I have ever read on the start of the Civil War. Sumter, secession, and Lincoln appear in a wonderfully fresh and illuminating light, supported by a cast of extraordinary players that few Americans know about.  Penetrating, eloquent, and deeply moving, this is a classic introduction to the nation's greatest conflict."             -Tony Horwitz, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of Confederates in the Attic   "Combining a master historian's sure command of original sources and a novelist's deft touch with character and narrative, Adam Goodheart has produced the young century's liveliest book about how a generation of remarkable and ordinary Americans alike variously provoked, resisted, and endured the dissolution of their country and the tragic march toward civil war. Major and minor characters, political movements, and whole towns and villages come alive under Goodheart's expert scrutiny. The result is that rarest of history books: a work of remarkable original scholarship crafted into an irresistible read."            -Harold Holzer, chairman of The Lincoln Bicentennial Foundation and author of Lincoln President-Elect   "Adam Goodheart brings to this book a rare combination of talent: passion and precision as a historian, grace and generosity as a writer. 1861 puts us in the young nation that was about to shed its skin and begin life as something new."             -Richard Ben Cramer, winner of the Pulitzer Prize   "No one could capture Whitman's 'hurrying, crashing, sad, distracted year' more vividly than Adam Goodheart has done in this magnificent book.  1861 isn't merely a work of history; it's a time-travel device that makes a century and a half fall away and sets us down, eyes and ears wide open, right in the midst of the chaos and the glory."             -Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down , winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award From the Hardcover edition.

  • 1861 review

    I have just finished reading 1861 by A. Goodheart. The information the author presents is very well researched and he reveals truths that are not very well know. I found this fascinating. What I found a bit difficult was the "wordage" - many "not well known" foreign words and many "big" uncommon words. I do have an M.A. in education so I am not for lack of verbage but the use of these very unfamilar words, for me, took away from the book. Would I recommend it - Yes.

  • Super readable!

    Very interesting and compelling perspective regarding many lessor know individuals and their impact leading up to and into the Civil War. I highly recommend. I’m

  • Cival War History by the dots, a real eye opener.

    This is a must read for Cival War buffs. It starts before Ft. Sumpter and goes forward, filling in the blanks that were left out of history class. It is an eye opener of the way people of the North and South thought of what was happening in our country. I have been amazed at how much I have learned reading this book. It is by no means dull- every page is full of interesting facts, and it is an easy read.
