Unfinished Business contains a collection of ghost stories compiled from the Appalachian mountains of southeastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia. One common characteristic of these stories is that all pertain to the War of Southern Independence, or the Civil War as it is commonly referred to. Unfortunately, this area of the Appalachian Mountains saw many "Brother against Brother" encounters during this tragic war. Some of these stories contained within can contribute their beginnings to these family tragedies, while the remainder are directly, or indirectly, influenced by the war.
