About the Book
This 1962 paperback edition by Louis Morris Starr offers a fascinating account of the newspapermen who reported on the Civil War, bringing the conflict’s shattering events to the people back home. The book reveals how news of major battles like Fort Sumter, Bull Run, Shiloh, Gettysburg, and Appomattox reached the public for the first time. Starr also explores Abraham Lincoln’s interactions with reporters, shedding new light on the relationship between the president and the press during the war.
The men of the "Bohemian Brigade," as they called themselves, played a pivotal role in revolutionizing American journalism. Their work shifted American newspapers from being primarily editorial in nature to the daily news format we recognize today. This historical look at the role of journalists during the Civil War is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of media and history.
This 331-page paperback edition is in good condition, despite yellowing pages and library stamps marking a few pages, making it a valuable resource for history buffs, journalists, and students of media evolution.
