Appalachian Rebels chronicles the struggles of the 5th Kentucky Infantry and 10th Kentucky Mounted during the War Between the States. From the beginning to the end, each skirmish/battle flows in a...

This book is a work paying homage to the rich heritage of the southern people. It pays tribute to those boys in gray that chose to offer their lives for what they felt was a just cause.
