Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The traditional picture of the Civil War, all the men of the North doing battle against all the people of the South, is a wildly inaccurate one. There was considerable Confederate sympathy here and there in the North. And bands of Unionists all over the South continued armed resistance to the Confederate government from secession until the end of the war. These battles were particularly brutal in Missouri, western Virginia, and in East Tennessee.
This book examines Tennessee's civil war. It looks at East Tennessee's difference from the rest of the state, starting from the colonial period and extending to the present day. It chronicles East Tennessee's unsuccessful attempt to follow West Virginia's lead and become a separate state. It documents the Confederate government's inept and occasionally brutal handling of the situation. And it looks at the postwar period, when Unionists in Tennessee took their revenge.
Vital.

In one of the best books written to date on the subject of partisanship and guerilla warfare in Eastern Tennessee during the Civil War, Noel Fisher gives the reader a distinct feeling of what it must have been like to live in a mountainous region that not only suffered from the Civil War as a whole, but from its own civil war as well.
From my perspective, as a descendant of a Unionist veteran of the East Tennessee region, I could emphasize for my ancestors as well as for others who espoused the Unionist cause. Descendants of the Confederacy will likewise feel for the deprivations their ancestors faced.
The book is remarkably well balanced and makes good use of many primary resources. Perhaps its one fault lies with fact that I was hoping for more personal experiences of the outrages that both Unionists and seccessionists suffered and inflicted upon one another. For this, I still have to be content with "The Thrilling Adventures of Daniel Ellis" by Daniel Ellis and with "History of the Thirteenth Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry" by Samuel W. Scott and Samuel P. Angel. Perhaps at a later date someone will write the definitive history of the Civil War in the rugged reaches of East Tennessee, but until then, this will suffice.
