Victoria E. Bynum is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of history at Texas State University.
Bynum is to be saluted not only for her profound scholarship but
for her evenhanded accounts of matters that remain volatile and
controversial. . . . [This] book should be praised as an original
and cogent piece of scholarship on a devilishly complicated and
demanding subject.""- Washington Times;
""An important book that may cause historians who are skeptical
about putting too much stress on an 'inner' Civil War to rethink
their position.""- American Historical Review;
""Powerful, revisionist, and timely, Bynum's book combines superb
history with poignant analysis of historical memory and southern
racial mores.""- Choice;
""Local studies have made us increasingly aware of the many
different ways in which southerners experienced the Civil War. Few
communities fought as much of the war on their own terms or
generated as distorted yet profound a legacy afterward as did the
men and women of this renegade county in Mississippi's Piney Woods.
It's a fascinating story, and Victoria Bynum tells it remarkably
well.""- John C. Inscoe, coauthor of The Heart of Confederate
Appalachia: Western North Carolina in the Civil War
