The Civil War: A Narrative: Volume 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville is the opening volume of Shelby Foote and his three part narrative history of the American Civil War. First published in 1958 and later issued in the Vintage Civil War Library, it covers the crisis of secession, the firing on Fort Sumter, the early Union and Confederate campaigns, and the widening of the conflict through Antietam and Perryville in 1862. The book is primarily military history, but it also attends to political leadership, regional loyalties, public expectations, and the personal qualities of commanders and soldiers. Foote writes as a novelist turned historian, organizing events chronologically and emphasizing scene, character, movement, and consequence rather than formal historiographical debate. The result is a long, detailed account intended for readers who want the war to unfold as a connected national drama, supported by maps and grounded in extensive historical research.
