Description
Diaries by Kentucky Rebels are a rarity; the soldiers, bring to a halt from their homes and families within the Union Bluegrass, were themselves ordinary. On this massive and eloquent journal, Captain Edward O. Guerrant evocatively portrays his peculiar wartime experiences attached to the headquarters of Confederate generals Humphrey Marshall, William Preston, George Cosby, and, most notably, John Hunt Morgan. Ready to peer the inner workings of campaigns within the little-known Appalachian region of eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, and east Tennessee, where one of the crucial most vicious small-scale fighting occurred, Guerrant made scrupulous day by day entries remarking upon virtually the whole lot around him.
