Description

The author takes the reader through the early history of several Georgia units and through the war. He relates both the tactical and personal experiences of the soldier. We go with these citizen soldiers to the battlefields of Virginia and witness the legendary figures of Turner Ashby and Stonewall Jackson in action. Next, we participate in the camp life and fighting around Dalton and Atlanta. We skirmish in North Alabama as the unit is ordered to Nashville. Then it is on to Chattanooga and into Middle Tennessee, where we encounter the fabled Nathan Bedford Forrest. The author relates anecdotes of how "Forrest rode into my heart and mind," in sketches of his exploits in command of the battle field. We sympathize with General Hardee as he is aggrieved concerning Hood's promotion over him. We observe Gen. Pat Cleburne's deeds that earn him the sobriquet, "the Stonewall Jackson of the West." We experience the sacrifice of the very flower of Hood's army as we take our leave of our comrades dead or dying in front of the Federal breastworks at Franklin. It's southward into Mississippi now as we head for Corinth and then to Meridian. Eastward into Alabama, we scrap at Demopolis and Montgomery. We traverse homeward into Georgia, then depart for South Carolina. At last reaching Greensboro, North Carolina, the last battle is fought. We are 'surrendered' and there "we bade our comrades in arms a tender and affectionate farewell, broke ranks for the last time, and turned our weary steps homeward."
