| Summary | "Camp, Court and Siege" by Wickham Hoffman is a historical narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's personal experiences and observations during two significant conflicts: the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). Through detailed accounts, Hoffman provides insights into military operations, the political climate, and life on the homefront during these turbulent times. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the author's setting at Hatteras Island in February 1862, where he describes the challenging conditions faced by Union troops. He vividly depicts the strategic importance of the location, recounting the expedition organized by General Butler toward New Orleans and the subsequent passage through the Gulf of Mexico. The text sets the stage for Hoffman's experiences, showcasing both the harsh reality of wartime life and moments of camaraderie and bravery among soldiers, laying the groundwork for a detailed exploration of military campaigns and personal anecdotes throughout the book.
