Non-Fiction History
An epic of courage and heroism beyond the battlefields, 1861
is Adam Goodheart’s account of how the Civil War began and a
second American revolution unfolded, setting Abraham Lincoln
on the path to greatness and millions of slaves on the road
to freedom. In this gripping and original book, Goodheart
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. Their stories take us from the corridors
of the White House to the slums of Manhattan, from the
waters of the Chesapeake to the deserts of Nevada, from
Boston Common to Alcatraz Island, vividly evoking the Union
at its moment of ultimate crisis and decision.
