The Civil War and Yadkin County, North Carolina : a history : with contemporary photographs and letters / by Frances H. Casstevens.
Located in the western piedmont of North Carolina, Yadkin County was hardly a hotbed of rebellion at the start of the war. Many of the 1,200 men from Yadkin who served in the Confederate Army did so with distinction, but a number deserted. Some of these holed up in the Bond School House, and when the militia attempted to arrest them, four were killed and several others were wounded. This is a comprehensive accounting of the County's Civil War experience.-- Back cover.
