  We establish a mapping of a general spin-fermion system in one dimension into
a classical generalized Coulomb gas. This mapping allows a renormalization
group treatment of the anisotropic Kondo chain both at and away from
half-filling. We find that the phase diagram contains regions of paramagnetism,
partial and full ferromagnetic order. We also use the method to analyze the
phases of the Ising-Kondo chain.
