Reviews

“Reminiscences by Southern unionists involved in anti-guerrilla warfare are rare. Tried Men and True is significant primarily because of the quality of its accounts of military operations. It deals with recruiting, combat strategies, patrolling, mistreatment of prisoners, and civilian life in the guerrilla zone. The Southern white author's racial egalitarian views and the capture/escape account are especially unusual. It is extremely engaging.”--John V. Cimprich, author of Slavery's End in Tennessee and Fort Pillow, A Civil War Massacre, and Public Memory “Tried Men and True offers valuable information about Unionists in Tennessee, which places Cypert's account within a growing literature on dissent in the Confederacy. Readers will find a great deal of anecdotal testimony about the travails of Unionists-and the perfidy of Rebels-all recounted in a colorful style.”--Gary W. Gallagher, author of The Confederate War, Lee and His Generals in War and Memory, and The Union War
