Synopsis

This study of Civil War Unionism in western Virginia focuses on the dilemmas confronted by the people of Craig, Alleghany and Monroe Counties (the last presently in West Virginia), and contains an abundance of names and biographical information valued by genealogists. True tales about the underground of secret societies, prison escapes and local police actions illustrate the hard choices encountered by members of the community. Some faced war, prison, self-imposed exile, or even death for the decisions they made.
