Description
Far from a dry chronicle of battles and campaigns, this book brings a lesser-known chapter of Civil War to life and allows a rare glimpse into the lives of the courageous migrant workers who lived it. In 1864, when General William Tecumseh Sherman ordered the arrest and deportation of the southern cotton-mill workers out of their homes, their journey north began. Destitute and separated from family members, many of the cotton-mill workers were never able to return home again.
