Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Winner of the Pulitzer PrizeFeaturing a foreword by Battle Cry of Freedom author James McPhersonA vibrant portrait of Civil War-era Washington, D.C. that is packed and running over with the anecdotes, scandals, personalities, and tragi-comedies of the day-from the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for History (The New Yorker)1860: The American capital is sprawling, fractured, squalid, colored by patriotism and treason, and deeply divided along the political lines that will soon embroil the nation in bloody conflict. Chaotic and corrupt, the young city is populated by bellicose congressmen, Confederate conspirators, and enterprising prostitutes. Soldiers of a volunteer army swing from the dome of the Capitol, assassins stalk the avenues, and Abraham Lincoln struggles to justify his presidency as the Union heads to war.Reveille in Washington focuses on the everyday politics and preoccupations of Washington during the Civil War. From the stench of corpse-littered streets to the plunging lace on Mary Lincolns evening gowns, Margaret Leech illuminates the city and its familiar figures-among them Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, William Seward, and Mary Surratt-in intimate and fascinating detail.Leechs book remains widely recognized as both an impressive feat of scholarship and an uncommonly engrossing work of history.The best single popular account of Washington during the great convulsion of the Civil War. -The Washington Post.
