History of the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry
History of the 13th Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry
History of the First Regiment of the Tennessee Volunteer Cavalry
East Tennessee and the Civil War
Miss Nan: Beloved Rebel
The Loyal Mountaineers of Tennessee
Voices from Cemetery Hill
Jack May’s War
The Bridge Burners
Thrilling Adventures of Daniel Ellis
Carter’s Raid
Sisters of Providence
Just click on the Civil War History link for access to each book's webpage. Brett Schulte, who is looking for regimentals at the moment, might be interested in the first three titles listed (although I can't personally vouch for their quality). I am a bit intrigued by Jack May's War.
Thanks Drew. I'll take a look. I've been searching for some of thse smaller presses lately ever since you mentioned the University of Tennessee Press had that sale going on.
