Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book recounts a harrowing chapter in American history: the surrender of a Union Army garrison at Fort Filmore, New Mexico, to Confederate forces in 1861. The author, a Union Army surgeon, provides a firsthand account of the events, detailing the incompetence and cowardice of the commanding officer, Major Isaac Lynde, and the shockingly passive response of the garrison. The author's narrative weaves together personal experience and military strategy, offering a powerful indictment of Lynde's leadership and the devastating consequences of his actions. The surrender, a humiliating moment in American military history, is depicted as a consequence of not only Lynde's failures but also the broader context of a nation divided and a Union army ill-prepared for the challenges of civil war. The author's detailed account offers a poignant examination of leadership, obedience, and the cost of inaction in the face of conflict. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
