Summary

"This is an ... account of Tennessee during the Civil War. It is the first candidate in our effort to revive the press's Three Star Series, a set of short, introductory books that address significant parts of the state's history and culture. Meant to replace Thomas Connelly's Civil War Tennessee, originally published in 1979, this book brings recent scholarship, especially on the social history of the war, to a new audience. This book is intended as a general-interest title and hopefully will be useful to readers as young as secondary school students"-- Provided by publisher.
