Tennessee'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 "home Yankees"
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 "Loyal Thirteenth" in Stoneman'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.
