Description:

In the fall of 1865, the United States military executed Confederate guerrilla Champ Ferguson for his role in murdering fifty-three loyal citizens of Kentucky and Tennessee during the Civil War. Long remembered as the most unforgiving and inglorious warrior of the Confederacy, Ferguson is often dismissed as a cold-blooded killer. In Confederate Outlaw: Champ Ferguson and the Civil War in Appalachia biographer Brian McKnight demonstrates how such a judgment ignores the complexity of this legendary character and the reality behind his mythology.
