Meet author S. Scott Anderson and hear his story about writing The Scott Boys, a Civil War novel – inspired by actual events. From East Tennessee, the Scott family faces Civil War conflicts. One brother and his son decide to fight for the Southern Cause, while four other brothers escape into Kentucky to join the Union Army, fighting against slavery and preserving the Union. The Scott family adheres to the Presbyterian faith as Covenanters, embracing Native American perspectives, combining those values to provide guidance through a most challenging time. The family members who remain in East Tennessee are subjected to suffering from the plundering bushwhackers who see the Scott family allegiance to the Union as cause for punishment.
