Rebels in Blue...is a great read and tell, a story that has never been told in print. The Mexia Daily News Rebels in Blue, a biographical account of Blalock's struggles to remain true to his Union feelings while protecting his family from retribution by local Confederates, is a strong portrayal of an individual who acted as a Unionist guerilla. North Carolina Libraries The story is well-written with clear and accurate descriptions of the region and participants. Many biographies of the common solider lack interest or oringinality. Rebels in the Blue is different. Here, husband and wife not only refuse to leave each other, they risk personal safety and endure personal hardships to remain together. Civil War News
