Florida in Turmoil: The Terrible War Years 1861-1865

During the war, there were 182 engagements fought on Florida soil. The state had the highest percentage of military age men to volunteer in the Confederacy and suffered the highest percentage of casualties. Florida supplied the Armies of Tennessee and Northern Virginia cattle, grain, and salt until the end of the war. Tallahassee was the only capital not captured by a Union army. Florida's history has been overlooked in the War's historiography. Hopefully, this book will show Florida's lasting contribution to the war effort.
