In the #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, master story teller Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile, brings to life the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War. In November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter. Come join the Really True Reads Adult Nonfiction book discussion group for an informed and lively discussion about a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln’s election and the Confederacy’s shelling of Sumter.
