Knoxville in the Civil War

Arcadia Publishing
128 pages
$21.99


“Knoxville sits nestled in the extraordinary natural beauty of the Tennessee River Valley. For four long years, from 1861 to 1865, this idyllic setting was racked by some of the harshest experiences of the entire Civil War. Armies, battles, famous generals, partisans, and thousands of troops from every state North and South made their mark on the region, leaving a rich military history. However, it was the people of this genuinely American city whose divided loyalties forced families, schools, churches, financial stability, and literally all aspects of community to opposite sides of the deadly conflict.”

“Despite his scattered subjects, Spencer’s work is held together by an aesthetic that speaks to the textures and techniques of painting, employing elaborate darkroom techniques to create impressionistic effects.”
