Champ Ferguson Confederate Guerilla

Summary: Guerilla Warfare...Kentucky's Nightmare
Review: Originally published in 1942, Sensing explored the terror of guerilla warfare in the border state area of south central Kentucky. The book reveals the complexitiy of living through the Civil War, and the dangers of choosing sides. Using trial testimony for the basis of his research, Sensing reveals Ferguson as a haunting character, dangerous,cruel, and legendary. This is a must have for Kentucky Civil War fans as well as Tennessee Civil war buffs. As a resident of the area where Ferguson committed most of his atrocities, I find it facinating look at our history's darker side.
