Paint Bank, in Craig County, was the core of what local citizen George A. Linton called the "Union Hole"-an area with mixed loyalties that sometimes swayed heavily to the north, in this traditionally southern state.

True tales about the underground of secret societies, prison escapes and local police actions illustrate th... View more info

Months before Fort Sumter was attacked, even before the Confederacy was formed, fifty-six U. S. forts, arsenals and ships were seized by the first states to secede, and one-seventh of the U. S. Army was surrendered to the militia in Texas. The Beginning and the End tells the dramatic story of these events, largely ignored in Civil War histories, and describes the Confederacy's other war preparations. It relates how, without guidance from the floundering Buchanan administration, a decisive army lieutenant saved Fort Pickens at Pensacola in January, while a naval commodore was court-martialed fo...

This is meant to be a history of one company from rural Georgia, composed of ordinary men, probably representative of most companies in the Army of Northern Virginia. It was impossible to separate the company from the regiment and to seperate the regiment from the brigade, so this is to a certain degree a history of the Blanchard-Wright-Sorrel Brigade.336 pages, 5.5x8.5, 2000, 5.5x8.5, paper, index, 336 pp, Softcover, Heritage Books, Inc View more info
