Civil War Era Reflections and Sevastopol Echoes in 1861
The Retrospect recalls early 1861 events with Union preservation appeals and secession battles. It notes January to February actions at Fort Sumter, Pensacola, Charleston, and Washington, including Lincoln’s journey, pocketed conspiracies, and the dread of attack. It ends with fragmented notes on local politics and militia recruitment.
