Maury County was a crossroads during the Civil War. Due to its size and strategic place on the map, the county changed hands between the Union and Confederate forces six times during the Civil War. This book chronicles Maury County's participation in the war. It also includes information about some of the soldiers from the county that went off to the fight. Written by Jill K. Garrett and Marise P. Lightfoot, two of Maury County's late, great historians, this book has been out of print for over 30 years. Now, in conjunction with the Civil War's Sesquicentennial, it is available once more! This 2015 edition was reprinted using the plates from the 1980 printing.
