BIO: Based in Knoxville, devoted Whig Party newspaper man living among Tennessean rebels at the advent of Civil War, this story is a page turner. Much later during reconstruction, as Parson Brownlow became Governor after having witnessed many tragedies into 1865, as well as being incarcerated himself.

He became known for his combative and vituperative nature as Governor of Tennessee and became a formidable foe of the Ku Klux Klan. An outspoken advocate for the Union, Brownlow continued to ridicule secessionist Confederates suppressing his paper, the Knoxville Whig, at the time causing him to flee in 1861 at the war's outbreak. Brownlow was editor of the last pro-union newspaper (Knoxville Whig) in the antebellum South. Of advertising in rear including the ad for the author's own newspaper.
