  Focusing on Fannin and Lumpkin counties in the Blue Ridge Mountains along Georgia's northern border, this work argues for a localized, idiosyncratic understanding of the Civil war. This book reveals that, for many participants, this war was fought less for abstract ideological causes than for reasons tied to home, family, friends, and community.
