Publisher's Synopsis
Staunchly pro-Union young men escaped from Confederate-occupied East Tennessee in droves to muster up numerous regiments for the North. One of the most famous units was the First Regiment of the Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry. Led by Colonel James P Brownlow, the regiment participated in over fifty battles and skirmishes, including the East Tennessee campaign, the Atlanta campaign, the Battle of Franklin, the Battle of Nashville, and Brownlow's infamous 'naked charge'.
