| Summary: | </p>
<p>The outbreak of civil war convulsed the entire nation.
Nowhere were its effects felt stronger than in the border
states. The states of Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri found
their inhabitants loyalties closely split over the
secessionist issue. Under such an explosive situation, men
of great courage and foresight were needed to safeguard the
liberties of these states and avert the prospect of massive
bloodshed. Isaac R. Trimble represented such a man capable
of accomplishing such a task.</p>
<p>
Trimble had long been exposed to rigorous challenges.
His loyalty rested with Maryland and its right to decide its
own destiny. "Isaac Ridgeway Trimble, The Indefatigable and
Courageous," is a story about this man's quest to resist
what he considered to be Federal tyranny and regain his
state's sovereignty. No matter what the hardship or price,
Trimble willingly sacrificed to see his dream materialize.
With the Confederacy, Trimble placed his fortune and fought
to insure its survival. Even in defeat, Trimble remained
convinced of Confederate virtue and Union despotism.
Throughout the remainder of his life, Trimble continued to
be a diehard warrior espousing the justness of the
Confederate cause.</p>
