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.

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.
