Location: Civil War Museum

Instructor: Doug Dammann

Book: "The Demon of Unrest" by Erik Larson

Participants are encouraged to read the book prior to the meeting and come prepared to share their thoughts.

Master storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's shelling of Sumter – a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, inflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were "so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them."
