A Boy Named Sue: Sue Mundy, Kentucky's Most Notorious Confederate Guerrilla October 16, 2008

Sue Mundy was a product of the civil and uncivil unrest existing in Kentucky in the closing days of the Civil War. As Kentuckians bridled under military rule, and the depredations of guerrillas who created an atmosphere that must have resembled, in many ways, the turmoil of present-day Baghdad in its most turbulent months, it was a period of vicious personal wars among a divided populace. Richard Taylor, professor at Kentucky State University, is a writer and former Louisvillian and Kentucky Poet Laureate. University Press of Kentucky published his historical novel, 'Sue Mundy: A Novel of the Civil War,' as part of its Kentucky Voices Series.
