"This excellent collection of essays provides nothing less than the first comprehensive social history of the Civil War in Appalachia. The range of topics is as diverse as the region itself, and each essay contributes a wealth of insights far beyond its prescribed focus. Taken singly, these essays will inspire comparison of Appalachia's war with other parts of the Confederacy. Taken together, they remind us that Appalachia was a crucible and turbulent center of the war that has too long been ignored." -Daniel E. Sutherland, University of Arkansas
