The Fort Sumter Civil War Round Table presented its inaugural Roberts Foundation Book Award to Anna Koivusalo for her book, The Man Who Started the Civil War: James Chestnut, Honor, and Emotion in the American South. A committee of round table members vetted many books and concluded that Koivusalo's book was the best one published in 2022 on the Civil War in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Much more than a biography of James Chestnut, the book provided a new way of looking at honor in the South. It is an important book that will influence the study of Southern culture and honor for many years to come. |
