Free Downloads The Dreaded 13th Tennessee Union Cavalry:: Marauding Mountain Men (Civil War Series)
Tennessee's Thirteenth Union Cavalry was a unit composed mostly of amateur soldiers that eventually turned undisciplined boys into seasoned fighters. At the outbreak of the Civil War, East Tennessee was torn between its Unionist tendencies and the surrounding Confederacy. The result was the persecution of the home Yankees" by Confederate sympathizers. Rather than quelling Unionist fervor, this oppression helped East Tennessee contribute an estimated thirty thousand troops to the North. Some of those troops joined the "Loyal Thirteenth" in Stoneman's raid and in pursuit of Confederate president Jefferson Davis. Join author Melanie Storie as she recounts the harrowing narrative of an often-overlooked piece of Civil War history."

I read this book after reading History of the Thirteenth Regiment by Samuel W. Scott and The Red Fox By Geoffrey Webb. Both of these books are about the Civil War in the far eastern Tennessee counties. Melanie Storie's book provides clarity and better understanding of those turbulent times. It is a well written enjoyable read!
A great read for the general reader as well as the serious scholar in Appalachian/Civil War history.
This is a good addition to the other historical books written about the Thirteenth Tennessee Union Calvary unit, as there are facts in this book that were not in the other books.
