Description

Felix G. Stidger’s Treason History of the Order of the Sons of Liberty… traces the history of militant pro-Confederate organizations in the Midwest.

A first-person history by an alleged Federal spy working in Kentucky and Indiana again the secret society whose reputation was not unlike that of extremist groups today. At times during the war it seemed that the Knight “traitors” would rise in a massive terrorist campaign across the north, a belief that fueled much abrogation of civil liberties.
