A refugee from war-torn East Tennessee describes, in stark detail, the price of conscience in a divided America. Every detail feels painfully close. First published in the 1860s, The Testimony Of A Refugee From East Tennessee is Hermann Bokum’s civil war personal narrative of life, flight, and survival amid the East Tennessee Civil War. Written as a historical eyewitness account and nineteenth century memoir, it captures the voices of Union refugees Tennessee produced when loyalties in Confederate South communities were tested beyond breaking point. Calm, observant, and deeply engaged with questions of allegiance, faith, and citizenship, Bokum offers a rare window into East Tennessee 1860s history and the wider American Civil War South.For civil war history students and thoughtful general readers alike, this volume stands as a primary source for historians and researchers worldwide and a compelling human story of principle under pressure. It belongs on the shelf of any unionist memoirs collection or civil war history book library concerned with the border regions and inner conflicts of the era.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
