    Book Description

    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.

    书名:1861年:内战的觉醒

    在美国纪念我们定义的国家戏剧150周年之际, 1861 对内战是如何开始的进行了扣人心弦的原创叙述。

    1861 是一部超越战场的勇气和英勇的史诗。在那决定性的一年早些时候,第二次美国革命展开,激励新一代人拒绝父母对妥协和绥靖的信念,以理想的名义做不可想象的事情。它让亚伯拉罕·林肯走上了伟大的道路,让数百万奴隶走上了自由的道路。

    这本书向我们介绍了迄今为止鲜为人知的内战英雄阵容–其中包括一位杂技民兵上校、一位探险家的妻子、一群理想主义的德国移民、一群纽约市消防员、一群弗吉尼亚奴隶,以及一位有朝一日成为总统的年轻大学教授。亚当·古德哈特带领我们从白宫的走廊到曼哈顿的贫民窟,从切萨皮克河的入海口到内华达州的沙漠,从波士顿公地到恶魔岛,生动地唤起了在这个终极危机和决定的时刻的联邦。
