Set during the Civil War, the narrative focuses on the Jackson Purchase region of Kentucky, which starkly contrasted with the Union-supporting majority. This area, defined by its rivers, fiercely advocated for separation and secession, producing significantly more Confederates than Union soldiers. The local populace championed states' rights and slavery, leading to its reputation as "the South Carolina of Kentucky." The book delves into the complexities of loyalty and identity in a divided state.
