About this product

Product Information

Abner Doubleday was an 1842 graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point and a veteran of the Mexican War when he was assigned to Fort Moultrie in the summer of 1860. A captain of artillery, he served as second in command of the garrison at the historic fort when the curtain rose on the dramatic events leading to the outbreak of the War Between the States. Doubleday fired the first gun in the defense of Fort Sumter when the fighting began. He was a keen and well-trained observer whose memoir of the federal garrison's efforts to carry out its mission is as fresh and useful to the reader today as it was in 1876 ... a front seat at the opening action. Abner Doubleday fought for the Union at Chancellorsville, Antietam, and Gettysburg, to name a few of the battles in which he commanded troops. At the end of the war, he held the rank of Major General US Volunteers.
