US historians profile known Union sympathizers in the Confederacy and explore their role in the outcome of the war. Most of the names are not widely familiar, among them David Hunter Strother, Parson Brownlow in Knoxville, and Nelly Kinzie Gordon. Most of the ten essays were presented at the Families at Loyalty and Conflict in the Civil War South conference in Richmond, Virginia, May 1998. Annotation c.
