Thurman Sensing (1900-1971) was vice president of the Southern States Industrial Council. A well-respected figure in Nashville, he was often asked by local papers for comment on everything from industry to the loosening of Danish pornography laws.
Although Ferguson survived the Civil War unscathed and offered to surrender to Federal authorities, Ferguson's crimes had assumed so awful a stature that the Military Division of Tennessee brushed aside his offer, arrested him, tried him, and hung him on October 20, 1865. But the trial of Ferguson is important for Sensing in another way, for the trial becomes a lens through which we peer at the bitter, remorseless nature of guerilla warfare.
