This volume contains Lincoln's communications, proclamations, messages, and official writings from a tumultuous period during the American Civil War, reflecting on military strategies, political decisions, and the governance of a nation in crisis. The opening of this volume introduces various key elements of Lincoln's presidency, beginning with a message to Congress recommending naval officers for commendation following significant military successes in the Union's efforts. This letter highlights Captain David G. Farragut's role in capturing New Orleans and emphasizes Lincoln's commitment to recognizing military achievements. The subsequent sections comprise telegrams to generals, showcasing Lincoln's urgent communications regarding troop movements and strategies in the face of war challenges, all aimed at securing the capital and safeguarding Union interests.
