The Flag Replaced On Sumter: A Personal Narrative is a book written by William A. Spicer and first published in 1885. The book is a personal account of the author's experience during the American Civil War, specifically his involvement in the re-raising of the American flag on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Spicer was a member of the 100th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which was one of the regiments chosen to participate in the ceremony of replacing the flag on Fort Sumter. The fort had been surrendered to Confederate forces at the start of the war, and the raising of the flag was seen as a symbolic act of reclaiming federal authority over the South. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the flag-raising, including the preparations made by the Union forces and the negotiations with Confederate authorities. Spicer also describes the actual ceremony itself, which took place on April 14, 1865, and was attended by a number of prominent military and political figures. In addition to his personal account of the events, Spicer also provides historical context for the re-raising of the flag on Fort Sumter. He discusses the significance of the fort in the early days of the Civil War, as well as the political and military developments that led up to the ceremony. Overall, The Flag Replaced On Sumter: A Personal Narrative offers a unique perspective on a significant moment in American history, and provides valuable insights into the experiences of Union soldiers during the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
