Reviews

by using a variety of extensively researched materials compiled and presented in a fascinating way, Casstevens has done much to unravel some of the mystery of the man while telling the story of the Rebels he commanded --<i>Our State</i>; nicely done...the book should be of interest to anyone interested in Clingman and his troops or North Carolina and the war --<i>The Civil War Courier</i>; one of North Carolina's more enigmatic but ignored commanders...dispels myths and provides a more thorough account of the leader and his unit than ever before --<i>Civil War Book Review</i>; an interesting discussion...informative --<i>Colorado Libraries</i>; excellent...comprehensive --<i>Watauga Democrat.</i>
