Divided Loyalties

Book Design

The Media South staff loves to do book design and production, so when the opportunity arose to redesign Divided Loyalties, the signature publication of the East Tennessee Historical Society and the only book to address the Civil War in East Tennessee, we jumped at the chance. This new Divided Loyalties, second edition, is a totally redesigned, reedited, re-illustrated version of the original. The iconic cover photograph of the Union soldier on the parapet of Fort Sanders, presages a section of new custom-designed maps depicting military movements during the Battle for Fort Sanders. The interior of the book is lavishly illustrated with period photography and illustration, and Media South produced a special color section in the center showing artifacts of the Civil War from the Society’s extensive holdings. All in all, a fitting and proper tribute to both sides in the conflict.
