Fragmented Civil War Narrative Mixes Fire and Picket Duty
An 1861 era report blends Civil War scenes with street incidents. It recounts a New York Tribune worker aiding Col. Elsworth, a Confederate ticket dispute at Fairfax, and a daring Albatross rescue of a frightened African crewman aboard a prize Enchantress, plus Brownlow’s take on Lincoln's address.
