About the Book
A Mountain Man and the War Between the States follows the life of William Taylor (Billy T.) Ware. The son of a farmer in Western Virginia (now West Virginia), Billy T. was only 19 when he joined the Confederate States Army soon after the State of Virginia seceded from the Union in April of 1861. The first year of the war he fought in the mountains of Pocahontas County near his home in Randolph County. Fighting under General Robert E. Lee, he saw action led by Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley Campaign and fought in other battles, including Antietam and Gettysburg. Captured at the Battle of the Wilderness in May of 1864, he was imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland. The last nine months of the war he was held at the notorious Elmira Prison in New York. Following his experiences during the war and his life after he returned home, the reader may come to understand why this mountain man fought for the South and the price he paid.
