The
militia histories of fifteen representative counties, CHATHAM, BURKE,
JEFFERSON, TATTNALL, BALDWIN, MORGAN, JASPER, MONROE, BIBB, WARE, PIERCE,
CAMPBELL, SUMTER, COBB, AND FLOYD, placing them in the pertinent political
and economic contexts. Each chapter is richly documented with biographical
and genealogical information on men and women residing in the county.
Company rosters and payrolls are attached in numerous cases. These pages
contain a veritable genealogical treasure trove, since some counties have
lost most if not all of their early public records. There is appended
the history of the State Arsenal at Savannah and an account of the Coffin
Brigade, the secret Secessionist society formed in Georgia in 1852. (8.75x11.25,
hard-cover; 385 pages)
