Excerpt from A Narrative of the Campaign of the First Rhode Island Regiment
When the first Of April, 1861, dawned upon the people Of the United States, it found them in a feverish and excited condition. Seven States had already declared themselves in dependent Of the Government of the Union, and had combined to form a provisional gov ernment. It-was very well understood, that four more were only waiting for a pretext to engage in the same revolutionary ac tion.

A president Of the United States had been inaugurated amid circumstances Of extraordinary peril; and it was matter Of doubt in the minds Of many.
