On June 26, 2022, I joined the Southern California Civil War Roundtable Alliance via zoom to discuss the Free State of Jones and more. In this video of the event, I provide a PowerPoint presentation of Newt Knight’s leadership of Mississippi’s guerrilla band of pro-Union deserters, his relationship with his grandfather’s slave, Rachel, and the larger scope of anti-Confederate warfare from Jones County down to Hancock County, Mississippi. Michael Hoover’s interview of me follows, during which we discuss the broader scope of my scholarship. Brian Cieslak concludes our event by fielding questions from the audience.—VB
