STATE OF JONES, THE(ISBN=9780767929462) 英文原版 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　In 1863, after surviving the devastating Battle of Corinth,

Newton Knight, a poor farmer from Mississippi, deserted the

Confederate Army and began a guerrilla battle against the

Confederacy. For two years he and other residents of Jones County

engaged in an insurrection that would have repercussions far beyond

the scope of the Civil War. In this dramatic account of an almost

forgotten chapter of American history, Sally Jenkins and John

Stauffer upend the traditional myth of the Confederacy as a heroic

and unified Lost Cause, revealing the fractures within Civil-War

era Southern society. No man better exemplified these complexities

than Newton Knight, a pro-Union sympathizer in the deep South who

refused to fight a rich man’s war for slavery and cotton.

　　Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: Make room in your

understanding of the Civil War for Jones County, Mississippi, where

a maverick small farmer named Newton Knight made a local legend of

himself by leading a civil war of his own against the Confederate

authorities. Anti-planter, anti-slavery, and anti-con*ion,

Knight and thousands of fellow poor whites, army deserters, and

runaway slaves waged a guerrilla insurrection against the secession

that at its peak could claim the lower third of Mississippi as

pro-Union territory. Knight, who survived well beyond the war (and

fathered more than a dozen children by two mothers who lived

alongside each other, one white and one black), has long been a

notorious, half-forgotten figure, and in The State of Jones

journalist Sally Jenkins and Harvard historian John Stauffer

combine to tell his story with grace and passion. Using court

tran*s, family memories, and other sources--and filling the

remaining gaps with stylish evocations of crucial moments in the

wider war--Jenkins and Stauffer connect Knight's unruly crusade to

a South that, at its moment of crisis, was anything but solid.

--Tom Nissley
