Confederate Outlaw - Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia

Informationen zum Autor Brian D. McKnight, professor of history at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, is the author of Contested Borderland: The Civil War in Appalachian Kentucky and Virginia and coeditor of The Guerrilla Hunters: Irregular Conflicts during the Civil War. Klappentext In the fall of 1865, the United States military executed Confederate guerrilla Champ Ferguson for his role in murdering fifty-three loyal citizens of Kentucky and Tennessee during the Civil War. Long remembered as the most unforgiving and inglorious warrior of the Confederacy, Ferguson is often dismissed as a cold-blooded killer. In "Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia" biographer Brian McKnight demonstrates how such a judgment ignores the complexity of this legendary character and the reality behind his mythology.
