Synopsis

A new book by Civil War author and historian Terrell T. Garren challenges previous historical assumptions regarding Unionism in Western North Carolina. Garren says that readers of his new book "may be surprised to learn that Western North Carolina citizens of that day were as much or more dedicated to the Confederate cause than the people of any other area in the entire South."

Review:

Garren "offers a cogent and thorough scholarly analysis of Union and Confederate loyalties during the Civil War." --Rob Neufeld, Asheville Citizen-Times

Terrell T. Garren "spent thousands of hours during the past five years seaching, reading, and counting....military records on both Union and Confederate soldiers....and found that the reports of Unionism during the Civil War in Western North Carolina are overstated." --Jennie Jones Giles, Hendersonville, NC, Times-News
