Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Albert Nofi tells the story of the American War through a range of insightful and entertaining essays, anecdotes, and facts. Did you know. During the final days of the war some Richmond citizens were wont to throw 'Starvation Parties', at which elegantly attired guests would gather at soirees where the finest silver and crystal table ware was used, though there were usually no refreshments save water; Union Rear-Admiral Goldsborough was nicknamed 'Old Guts', not so much for his combativeness as for his heft, weighing about 300 pounds, and was described as " a huge mass of inert matter"; 30.6 percent of the 425 Confederate generals, but only 21.6 percent of the 583 Union generals, had been lawyers before the war; In 1861, J. P. Morgan made a huge profit by buying 5,000 condemned US Army carbines and selling them back to another arsenal, taking the Army to court when they tried to refuse to pay for the faulty weapons; Major General Loring was reputed to have so rich a vocabulary than one of the men once remarked he could "curse a cannon up hill without horses"; Many militia units had a favourite drink: the Charleston Light Dragoons' punch took around a week to make while the Chatham Artillery required 1 pound of green tea leaves be steeped overnight; There were five living former presidents when the Civil War began, and seven veterans of the war (plus one draft dodger) went on to serve as President. A fascinating and entertaining anthology about the American Civil War, throwing new light on all aspects of the war, and how it affected America and Americans, then and through to the present day.
