Published in 1978, this book tells the story of William Gannaway
Brownlow, a Methodist minister, Whig politician, author of a Civil
War bestseller, and anti-Confederate who documented the trials and
tribulations of pro-Union mountaineers in east Tennessee. Brownlow
edited and published a weekly newspaper, the Whig, for thirty years
and was among the first to treat his native Appalachia as a
significant and separate area. Steve Humphrey uses extensive
selections from Brownlow's distinctive writing in the Whig, with
his own writing and commentary to tell the story of this man who
could be relentless with his enemies and generous with his friends.
