Reveille in Washington, 1860-1865 ISBN:080943556X Author:Leech, Margaret Publisher:Time-Life Books Release Date:1980 Seller Category:-- Qty Available:1 Condition:New Sku: 2338954 Notes: Reprint. A fine copy. 1980 Trade Paperback. viii, 592 pp. 1860: The American capital is sprawling, fractured, squalid, colored by patriotism and treason, and deeply divided along the political lines that will soon embroil the nation in bloody conflict. Chaotic and corrupt, the young city is populated by bellicose congressmen, Confederate conspirators, and enterprising prostitutes. Soldiers of a volunteer army swing from the dome of the Capitol, assassins stalk the avenues, and Abraham Lincoln struggles to justify his presidency as the Union heads to war. Reveille in Washington focuses on the everyday politics and preoccupations of Washington during the Civil War. From the stench of corpse-littered streets to the plunging lace on Mary Lincoln’s evening gowns, Margaret Leech illuminates the city and its familiar figures—among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, William Seward, and Mary Surratt—in intimate and fascinating detail. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
