| Summary | "Baltimore and the Nineteenth of April, 1861: A Study of the War" by George William Brown is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the significant events that took place in Baltimore during the early days of the American Civil War, particularly focusing on the confrontation between Northern troops and Southern sympathizers in the city. It aims to provide context and analysis regarding the clash that inaugurated bloodshed in the conflict, delving into the complex political and social dynamics of the time. The opening of the book sets the stage by addressing the request for a reliable account of the tumultuous events of April 19, 1861, which marked the first fatalities in the Civil War. Brown reflects on his dual role as a local leader and participant in these historical moments, acknowledging the intense emotions and sentiments that fueled the chaos during that period. He details the background leading to the escalation of conflict, including fears of an assassination attempt on President Lincoln and rising tensions among Baltimore's divided populace. The narrative hints at a rapidly deteriorating atmosphere in the city, preparing the reader for an exploration of events that would shape not only Baltimore's future but the entire nation’s struggle in the Civil War.
