Photograph of the Roswell Mill Workers' monument in the Old Mill Park in Roswell, Georgia's historic district. The ten-foot Corinthian column, shattered at the top to symbolize the lives torn apart by the Civil War tragedy, was erected and dedicated on July 8th, 2000, by the Roswell Mills Camp 1547, Sons of Confederate Veterans. The members of the unit stand on either side of the monument.
In July 1864 during the Atlanta campaign General William T. Sherman ordered the approximately 400 Roswell mill workers, mostly women, arrested as traitors and shipped as prisoners to the North with their children. There is little evidence that more than a few of the women ever returned home. - Metadata URL:
