Madison & Adams Press presents the Civil War Memories Series. This meticulous selection of the firsthand accounts, memoirs and diaries is specially comprised for Civil War enthusiasts and all people curious about the personal accounts and true life stories of the unknown soldiers, the well known commanders, politicians, nurses and civilians amidst the war. 'In this account I propose to set out the little good that was in my life, at the same time not withholding in any way the bad, with the hope of setting right before the world a family name once honored, but which has suffered disgrace by being charged with more evil deeds than were ever its rightful share.'

Thomas Coleman Younger (1844 - 1916) was an American Confederate guerrilla during the American Civil War and later an outlaw leader with the James-Younger Gang. He was the eldest brother of Jim, John and Bob Younger, who were also members of the gang.
