A Story of Southern Men in the Union Army

Can it be that there is a story of the Civil War that hasn’t been told? In researching the experiences of my ancestor, I discovered a history that has never been given its due. It is themstory of thousands of men who fought for the Union—but don’t call them Yankees! They were Southern men, Tennessee men.
