''Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860 to 1861'' is a historical account written by Abner Doubleday, a Union Army officer who was present during the early stages of the American Civil War. The book provides a firsthand perspective of the events leading up to the outbreak of the war, specifically the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, and the subsequent defense of the fort by Union troops. Doubleday’s account includes detailed descriptions of the fortifications, the people involved, and the political climate of the time. He also provides insight into the strategies and tactics employed by both sides during the conflict. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Civil War, military strategy, or the political and social dynamics of the time period.1876. A West Point graduate, Doubleday was at Fort Sumter when it was attacked, signaling the beginning of the Civil War. He aimed the first Union gun fired in defense of the fort. A staunch abolitionist, he served in numerous campaigns throughout the Civil War, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1863. After the war, he attained the rank of colonel before retiring from active service in December 1873. Doubleday is most famously remembered for being credited with inventing the game of baseball in 1839 at Cooperstown, New York, but it is thought that this is almost certainly untrue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
