Notes

1. Three of the most comprehensive treatments of the nineteenth-century literature on Appalachia make no mention of the Civil War fugitive narratives. They are Cratis D. Williams, “The Southern Mountaineer in Fact and Fiction” (Ph.D. diss., New York University, 1961); Henry D. Shapiro, Appalachia on Our Mind: The Southern Mountains and Mountaineers in the American Consciousness, 1870–1920 (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1978); and Allen W. Batteau, The Invention of Appalachia (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1990).

Masur, “The Real War Will Never Get in the Books”: Selections from Writers during the Civil War (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993), iv. For other treatments of the Civil War as conveyed in memoir and autobiography, see Daniel Aaron, The Unwritten War: American Writers and the Civil War (New York: Knopf, 1973); and Anne C. Rose, Victorian America and the Civil War (Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1992), chap. 6. On the high literacy rate of Civil War soldiers, see James M.
