STATE OF JONES, THE(I***N=9780767929462) 英文原版 阿里云 lit azw3 txt pdf caj 下载 在线

　　In 1863, after surviving the devastating Battle of Corinth,

Newton Knight, a poor farmer from Mississippi, deserted the

Confederate Army and began a guerrilla battle against the

Confederacy. For two years he and other residents of Jones County

engaged in an insurrection that would have repercussi*** far beyond

the scope of the Civil War. In this dramatic account of an almost

f***otten chapter of American history, Sally Jenkins and John

Stauffer upend the traditional myth of the Confederacy as a heroic

and unified Lost Cause, revealing the fractures within Civil-War

era Southern society. No man better exemplified these complexities

than Newton Knight, a pro-Union sympathizer in the deep South who

refused to fight a rich man’s war for slavery and cotton.

　　Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: Make room in your

understanding of the Civil War for Jones County, Mississippi, where

a maverick small farmer named Newton Knight made a local legend of

himself by leading a civil war of his own against the Confederate

authorities. Anti-planter, anti-slavery, and anti-con*ion,

Knight and thousands of fellow poo***hites, army deserters, and

runaway slaves waged a guerrilla insurrection against the secession

that at its peak could claim the lower third of Mississippi as

pro-Union territory. Knight, who survived well beyond the war (and

fathered more than a dozen children by two mothers who lived

alongside each other, one white and one black), has long been a

notorious, half-f***otten figure, and in The State of Jones

journalist Sally Jenkins and Harvard historian John Stauffer

combine to tell his story with grace and passion. Using court

tran*s, family memories, and other sources--and filling the

remaining gaps with stylish evocati*** of crucial moments in the

wide***ar--Jenkins and Stauffer connect Knight's unruly crusade to

a South that, at its moment of crisis, was anything but solid.

--Tom Nissley
