Largely overlooked in Civil War history's big picture, Kentucky was a vital theater of the war and hosted events worthy of remembrance. The battles at Camp Wildcat, Middle Creek, Mill Springs, Richmond, Munfordville, and Perryville may not have been as large as those at Fort Donelson and Shiloh, but were strategically important to the war's outcome and hold lessons of their own. In the Bluegrass State, combat went hand in hand with the politics of slavery and secession. Badly divided between North and South, the Commonwealth tried at first to stay neutral between, and reunite, America's sundered halves, but then took sides with the Union -- uneasily, for there was scant trust between Frankfort and Washington, D. C. In Kentucky's hills and hollows, cavalry raids, partisan warfare, guerrilla attacks, and pure brigandage made the state a scene of violence every bit as destructive as that of Bleeding Kansas and Missouri. Caught between warring sections and ideologies, Kentucky could know no peace until a divided nation achieved a form of it after untold bloodshed. In Kentucky, the Civil War was "The War of Brothers": not a gentlemen's disagreement, but a catastrophe that tore families and communities apart in many cases long after fighting on the battlefield was over. Here, in a novella-length narrative that you can read in a single evening is a story of failed compromises ending in uncompromising conflict: a story that might be today's.
