Between Reb and Yank is a fascinating account of the men who fought and of the civilians who were caught between the two armies of the North and South. It is a story of North Loudoun neighbors raising partisan outfits to oppose each other, of families split by conflicting loyalties, of prosperous farmers ruined by the conscription of their sons and confiscation of their crops, and of peaceable Quakers forced to choose whether to fight, flee, or turn the other cheek.
Authors Taylor M. Chamberlin and John M. Souders are native Virginians whose ancestors fought in the Civil War--Taylor's for the North, and John's for the South. After careers with the CIA, both returned to Loudoun County with their families and began researching and writing the history of the area. Both are active members of the Waterford Foundation and have designated all their proceeds from this book to support its mission.
