A. Ragan of his individual experiences during the War of the Rebellion from 1861 to 1864" is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book captures the harrowing experiences of Captain Ragan, who navigated the tumultuous landscapes of East Tennessee during the Civil War, detailing the loyalty, struggle, and suffering of Union sympathizers in a Confederate stronghold. Ragan attempts to chronicle his personal trials and the broader context of the Union spirit among East Tennesseeans amidst the chaos of war. In this compelling memoir, Captain Ragan recounts his journey of escape from the oppressive environment of Confederate rule, marked by arrests, narrow escapes, and the treacherous landscapes of mountains and rivers. His narrative provides vivid descriptions of secret meetings, the constant threat of discovery, and the sacrifices made by Union families to help men like him reach safety. The book highlights Ragan's unwavering resolve to evade conscription into the Confederate army, his attempts to guide fellow Unionists to safety, and the resilience of loyalists living under constant threat. Through a blend of personal anecdotes and reflections on the loyalty of women and men in East Tennessee, Ragan's account serves as both a gripping adventure and a poignant tribute to those who risked everything for their beliefs.
