The Civil War in Georgia
A New Georgia Encyclopedia Companion Georgians, like all Americans, experienced the Civil War in a variety of ways. Through selected articles drawn from the New Georgia Encyclopedia (www. georgiaencyclopedia.org), this collection chronicles the diversity of Georgia's Civil War experience and reflects the most current scholarship in terms of how the Civil War has come to be studied, documented, and analyzed.
Site of the Month
Where Sherman began the March to the Sea Stone Mountain Village was at the center of great conflict during the Atlanta Campaign. The town would change hands several times during the last year of the war. The Federal army destroyed part of the town in July 1864 and would come back later to finish the job.
Attractions
Battle of Tunnel Hill Civil War Reenactment The first act of the Atlanta Campaign was the Federal assault on Cleburne's entrenched Confederates on the heights overlooking Tunnel Hill. An annual reenactment commemorating the event takes place every September.
Wartime Stories
Mary Gay: Visits Granbury's Brigade Years after the Civil War, Mary Gay wrote of true incidences that happened during the conflict. She prefaced her twenty four short stories with a simple statement, "No woman has seen what I have seen, and felt what I have felt."
