*A county in the south declares its neutrality in the Civil War and then secedes from the state. *Southern men turn their backs on their secessionist neighbors and form their own Union regiment. *A slave-owning minister heads an underground pro-Union movement. Cracks in the Confederacy usually don't show up in American History 101 or even 102. But they are what author Don Umphrey discovered when conducted research on his great-grandfather's involvement in the Civil War. Hostilities grew as these Union-minded southerners balked at serving in the Confederate army. Some donned Union uniforms and subsequently paid the ultimate price for their convictions. "As I shared tidbits of my research findings with friends, most were surprised to hear conventional knowledge about the Civil War turned upside down." -- Author Don Umphrey from the Introduction.

Growing up in Atoka County, OK, in the early 1940s gave Sherman Avner "Shug" Bledsoe, Jr. some unique perspectives. Shug watched as his relatives and neighbors marched off to war. Some paid the ultimate price for their country. Later, still not much older than a boy, Shug fought for his country in Korea. Thinking back on this heritage, Shug observed that the people of Atoka County were especially patriotic when it came to serving in the armed forces. From 1998 to 2000 Shug wrote about these service men and women in his column "Portraits of Patriots" that appeared in the Atoka County Times. The column was well read and especially appreciated by veterans. This book is a collection of those columns. All proceeds from the sale of this book go toward building the Atoka County Veterans Memorial.
