Offered in this lot is an 1888 first edition of "Drum-Beat of the Nation: The First Period of the War of the Rebellion from Its Outbreak to the Close of 1862" by Charles Carleton Coffin (July 26, 1823 – March 2, 1896). This work was an attempt to explain the causes of the Civil War and the events of its early days for the younger generation already beginning to forget. The author, Charles Carleton Coffin, grew up in New England and found his calling as a newspaperman. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Coffin attempted to enlist, but he was turned down because of a bad foot. Determined to be part of the war effort, he covered the battles of Manassas on his own. Coffin was the only reporter who covered the entire Civil War from beginning to end. He soon became noted as a stickler for accuracy who would venture onto the battlefield in order to obtain the facts. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important. Coffin was one of the best-known newspaper correspondents of the American Civil War. He has been called "the Ernie Pyle of his era," and a biographer, W.E. Griffis, referred to him as "a soldier of the pen and knight of the truth." The book is bound in brown cloth with black and gold gilt on the cover and spine. The book is in good condition, with slight wear to be expected for its age. The book measures 9" x 7" x 1 ½".
