"Military Reminiscences of the Civil War, Volume 1: April 1861-November 1863" by Jacob Dolson Cox is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a personal narrative of the American Civil War as experienced by the author, who served as a Major-General commanding the Twenty-Third Army Corps. It focuses on the author's reflections, interactions with notable figures, and the unfolding events of the war during its early years, offering insight into both military strategy and the sentiments of the time. The opening of the book sets the stage for the Civil War, describing the tense atmosphere in the Ohio Senate as news of the bombardment of Fort Sumter breaks. Cox captures the immediate reaction of the political leaders and citizens, portraying the initial fear and swift call to arms that followed. He shares his personal commitment to the Union cause, recounting his involvement in organizing troops and the challenges faced in preparing them for war. Through detailed observations of military logistics, personnel experiences, and the evolving political landscape, the early chapters establish a foundation for understanding the complexities of the Civil War as seen through the eyes of someone deeply involved in the conflict.
