Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Cover has some wear, soiling, and sticker residue. 176 p. Footnotes. Index. George William Brown was the mayor of Baltimore during one of the most dramatic and violent incidents in the city's history. On April 19th, 1861, the Sixth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and Pennsylvania troops-about 1700 soldiers answering President Lincoln's call to defend the federal capital-arrived at Baltimore's President Street station east of the harbour on their way to Washington DC. As they made their way across Pratt Street to board the southbound train at Camden Yards, the soldiers were attacked by a mob of nearly 5000. When the fighting was over, 21 soldiers and citizens were dead and more than 100 were injured-the first blood spilled in the Civil War. First published by Johns Hopkins in 1887, this text is Brown's thoughtful, very personal memoir of those eventful days. Along with his dramatic account of the Pratt Street riot, he describes Lincoln's suspicious "secret passage" through the city on the way to his inauguration earlier that same year. He tells of rumours, plots, and increasing tensions and divisions after Southern secessionists fired on Fort Sumter. Brown also explains his attempts to quell the April riot, protect the federal troops, and prevent further violence (even justifying his order to burn the railroad bridges north of the city to halt the arrival of additional troops in Baltimore). An eyewitness account of a bloody incident that fuelled passions both North and South,
