This is an exciting book about the newspapermen who set out to report the shattering events of the Civil War to the people at home. You can read how the world first heard of Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Appomattox, and many other battles. For the first time, Lincoin’s relations with the reporters have been set down.

The men of the “Bohemian Brigade,” as they called themselves implemented a revolution in American journalism which changed the American newspaper from an organ primarily of editorial opinion into the kind of daily we read today.
