Summary "Recollections of the Civil War" by Charles A. Dana is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides a first-hand narrative of Dana's experiences and observations during the Civil War, particularly focusing on his interactions with key military and political leaders, including President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant. Dana's position as Assistant Secretary of War gives him unique insights into military strategies and the workings of the War Department during this tumultuous period. The opening of the book describes Dana's transition from his role as a journalist at the New York Tribune to an important position in the War Department, prompted by his correspondence with prominent figures like Edwin Stanton, the Secretary of War. He details his initial meetings with Lincoln and Stanton, as well as the context surrounding his appointment. Dana's narrative sets the stage for his upcoming interactions on the battlefield, illustrating his commitment to the Union cause and providing a glimpse into the complexities of war governance and military logistics during one of America's most defining periods. The narrative illustrates not only the political backdrop of the Civil War but also the personal resolve of those involved in the fight for the nation's future.
