Remembering Kentucky's Confederates

More about the book

The book explores the complex loyalties of Kentuckians during the Civil War, highlighting the state's unique position as a border slave state. With a divided populace, around 40,000 residents chose to fight for the Confederacy, and upon their return, these soldiers were celebrated as heroes. As the number of living Confederate veterans decreased, communities across Kentucky erected monuments in their honor. This work provides a comprehensive overview of Kentucky's Confederate soldiers and the units they served in during the War Between the States.
