Synopsis
Though this ancestor lived in Alabama, he and many of his neighbors were called Tories because of their allegiance to a strong Union. Hostilities grew as these Union-minded southerners balked at serving in the Confederate army. Some donned Union uniforms and subsequently paid the ultimate price for their convictions. Animosities were so great when the war was over, most survivors wouldn't talk about what had happened. The silence continued for generations. Don Umphrey pieced together this true story using his great-grandfather's written memories and many, often obscure documents.Book Details
