The Crisis (novel)

The Crisis (novel)

"The Crisis" is an historical novel published in 1901 by the American novelist Winston Churchill (novelist).

It is set in the years leading up to the first battles of the U.S. Civil War, mostly in the divided state of Missouri. It follows the fortunes of a young man with Union and abolitionist sympathies, and his involvement with a very Southern family.

Some historical characters make cameo appearances, notably William T. Sherman.
