Civil War Milledgeville

As the reader is sure to discover in Civil War Milledgeville: Tales from the Confederate Capital of Georgia, the division between combatant and civilian at the local level is not always clear. With a natural curiosity to unearth the unknown, local Milledgeville author and historian Hugh T. Harrington has put forth a collection of tales and personalities that have until now gone untold or were forgotten. Civil War Milledgeville shows that it is these often forgotten events and people that have shaped our larger understanding of the Civil War. From a women's riot to a confederate cavalry rescue, Hugh recounts local stories of heroism and cowardice, of success and strife, which illuminate the history of Milledgeville.
