Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for The Civil War Along Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - Aug. 26, 2015 - PRLog -- Barnes & Noble to Host Book Signing for The Civil War Along Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau

Local author, Aaron Astor, will be available to sign copies of book

Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau played host to some of the most dramatic military maneuvering of the Civil War. Straddling the entire state of Tennessee, the formidable tableland proved to be a maze of topographical pitfalls and a morass of divided loyalties. As Federal forces sought to capitalize on the capture of Nashville, they moved into a region split by the most vicious guerrilla warfare outside Missouri, including the colorful and intensely violent rivalry between Confederate Champ Ferguson and Unionist “Tinker” Dave Beaty. The bitter conflict affected thousands of ordinary men and women struggling to survive in the face of a remorseless war of attrition, and its legacy continues to be felt today.
