Jonathan Dean Sarris. A Separate Civil War: Communities in Conflict in the Mountain South. (A Nation Divided: New Studies in Civil War History.) Charlottesville: University of Virginia Press. 2006. Pp. x, 238. Cloth $55.00, paper $22.50.

In this fine study, Jonathan Dean Sarris explores the impact of civil war on two north Georgia counties, Fannin and Lumpkin. By breaking the war down "into its constituent parts" (p. 3), he probes the dynamics of grass-roots motivation and endeavor in an area where the conflict for sectional supremacy was often subordinated to the pressing matter of family and neighborhood survival. Sarris addresses a number of important questions relating to the southern uplands in this critical period: these include the character of mountain Unionism, the role of violence, and especially the extent to which localism was the dominate factor in shaping wartime responses and allegiances. Overall this well-conceived book makes a valuable addition to the growing body of work investigating the Civil War's less familiar terrain and an important contribution to Appalachian and southern studies.
