Crisis by Winston Churchill: A Civil War Chronicle
Thomas Gay praises The Crisis as a vivid historical account of 1855 to 1865 covering St Louis, the Mississippi, Lincoln, Douglas, Grant, and the Union’s restoration. He recalls personal ties to the era, debunks fiction, and urges family reading to illuminate exact events and figures. The note ends with a local advertisement for school supplies at Fluke’s.
