Moody, WesleyHERO OF FORT SUMTER: The Extraordinary Life of Robert Anderson Details the life of Robert Anderson, the commander of the US garrison at Fort Sumter in 1861. Although his leadership and his courage under fire catapulted him into national recognition, the attack on Fort Sumter was just one chapter in Anderson's story. Analyzes his early life, including how his ancestors were William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame) and Chief Justice John Marshall, and that his father crossed the Delaware with George Washington. Goes on to discuss how his upbringing on the Kentucky frontier to a West Point education and a military career saw him fighting in nearly every American conflict from the Black Hawk War to the Civil War-catching malaria fighting the Seminoles, taking several bullets while serving in Mexico, writing the textbook for field artillery used by both Union and Confederate forces, and mentoring William Tecumseh Sherman. Contains 10 black and white illustrations.1 vol, 258 pgs 2025 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS NEW-dj, available late May 2025 ......$37.00 rct ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
