From the back cover:
Terrible Things Can Happen to Good People Through No Fault of Their Own
In 1861, the new Confederate government promised a glorious future to its citizens. By 1863 six of Cader and Sarah Mitchell’s seven sons were dead after being conscripted by the army. Confiscatory taxes in kind were being collected and paper money was useless as hyperinflation ravaged the economy.
This was the reality for the Mitchell family, who lived in Covington County, Mississippi, during the American Civil War. The government’s promise of a glorious future had departed, leaving only ruin and devastation in its wake. Cader and Sarah knew they had to find a way for the rest of their family to survive and strive for glory in the future.
This drama that unfolded in the unsuccessful Southern war for independence featured many innocent citizens who became involved in what they called “a rich man’s war and a poor man’s fight.” As plundering armies looted the South, the family found they had no choice but to become involved.
The saddest part of the story is that it is all true. It is the story of my third-great-grandparents, Cader and Sarah Mitchell.
