Rally 'Round the Flag: Chicago and the Civil War ReviewAs a lifelong Chicagoan, I could never view Chicago within the context of the Civil War until reading Karamanski's "Rally Round the Flag." From the great Republican convention of 1860 in the "Wigwam," to the dismal life of Confederate prisoners in Camp Douglas on the South Side of Chicago, Karamanski paints a vivid picture of the midwest-city as bieng vigorously involved in the national conflict. Highlighted personalities include Lincoln, Douglas, Seward, Greeley and many Chicagoans including Mary Livermore, Reverand Dwight Moody, Colonel James Mulligan, and Elmer Ellsworth.My favorite areas of "Rally Round the Flag" include: The Republican Convention of 1860 in Chicago (Karamanski does a great job of showing how Chicago influenced Lincoln's nomination); the daring siezure of arms held in the St. Louis Armory by musket-hungry Illinois regiments; and the influence Chicagoan Elmer Ellsworth's prize-winning Zouves had on northern militia units before the war, and his subsequent martyrdom in bieng the first Union officer killed in the war while taking down a rebel flag in Alexandria, Va.Rally 'Round the Flag: Chicago and the Civil War Overview
