The Civil War and Yadkin County, North Carolina
Author : Frances H. Casstevens
Publisher : McFarland
Page : 305 pages
File Size : 24,29 MB
Release : 2015-09-01
Category : History
ISBN : 1476604037
Book Description
Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the Civil War. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted. Some of these holed up in the Bond School House, and when the militia attempted to arrest them, four were killed and several others were wounded. This is a comprehensive accounting of how the county responded to the Civil War and the effect it had on Yadkin's citizens, civilian and military alike.

General Braxton Bragg, C.S.A.
Author : Samuel J. Martin
Publisher : McFarland
Page : 537 pages
File Size : 40,15 MB
Release : 2014-01-10
Category : History
ISBN : 0786461942
Book Description
General Braxton Bragg is often described as a despicable, friendless man, the most hated general of the Confederacy. Historians have denigrated Bragg by accepting without challenge the self-serving accusations of prominent, disgruntled subordinates, each of whom sought to explain their own failures by assigning them to Bragg. This biography, without dodging Bragg's deficiencies, refutes much of this false testimony. The result is a balanced view of this controversial general, from his early rise to power in the Western theater to his subsequent fall from grace in the latter years of the Civil War.
