The Dreaded Thirteenth Tennessee Union Cavalry: Marauding

The Dreaded Thirteenth Tennessee Union Cavalry: Marauding Mountain Men

Tennesseeâ€™s Thirteenth Union Cavalry was a unit
composed mostly of amateur soldiers that eventually turned undisciplined boys
into seasoned fighters. At the outbreak of the Civil War, East Tennessee was
torn between its Unionist tendencies and the surrounding Confederacy. The
result was the persecution of the â€œhome Yankeesâ€ by Confederate sympathizers.
Rather than quelling Unionist fervor, this oppression helped East Tennessee
contribute an estimated thirty thousand troops to the North. Some of those troops
joined the â€œLoyal Thirteenthâ€ in Stonemanâ€™s raid and in pursuit of Confederate
president Jefferson Davis. Join author Melanie Storie as she recounts the
harrowing narrative of an often-overlooked piece of Civil War history.
