| Summary | "Following the Flag: From August 1861 to November 1862, with the Army of the Potomac" by Charles Carleton Coffin is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the experiences and operations of the Army of the Potomac during a tumultuous period of the American Civil War, focusing on key battles and events that shaped the conflict. Through personal observations and detailed narratives, the author paints a vivid picture of military life and the challenges faced by Union forces. The opening of this work introduces Coffin's motivations for writing, highlighting his experience following the flag of the Union and his desire to document the Army of the Potomac's operations. He reflects on the aftermath of the Battle of Bull Run, where Northern confidence was initially shattered, yet resolve to continue fighting persisted. Coffin sets the stage for his narrative by discussing the aftermath of early defeats and the responses of both Union and Rebel forces, delving into the organization of the Army and its leadership under General McClellan. This portion establishes a backdrop of tension and anticipation, hinting at the significant events and battles to unfold throughout the narrative, all while giving insight into the sentiments of soldiers and the stakes of the war.
