5.0 out of 5 stars The Civil War in the northern-most county of a border state, November 30, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Muffled Drums and Mustard Spoons: Cecil County, Maryland, 1860-1865 (Hardcover)

This book provides an insightful and detailed look at how life unfolded in the northern-most county of the northern-most broder state, Maryland, during the years of the Civil War.
For those interested in the War or Maryland history, this book does an excellent job. You can see precisely how the war affected residents in this rural, slave-holding county and how, eventually, citizens recovered from the war.
It's an unusual view (the local perspective in a unique region of the country, one with southern & northern ties), in an area where there are many books -- the civil war.

It's great! It tells a Civil War story of my Great-Great Grand-father and
Great-Great Grand-mother (William and Sophia Jeffries). Jerre Garrett did a wonderful job in researching and telling the story of how the Civil War affected so many lives.
