Summary

The American Civil War has been a subject of historical study by both professional and amateur historians for decades. However, many times these studies have overlooked the more obscure and colorful events and people that were very much a part of the war at a local level. In the town of Milledgeville, Georgia-the state capital during the Civil War-the actions of local soldiers and citizens alike tell a story that is unique to that locale.
