Traced
in Fire, Written in Blood
is a brand-new book
featuring stories of both
famous and forgotten
Georgians in the Civil War.
This Journal of Georgia
Civil War History includes
detailed accounts of
notable Georgians like
Robert Toombs and Alexander
Stephens, along with
little-known but riveting
stories of the foot soldiers
who served their state and
country with steadfast
determination. You'll
read about:
• A young Georgian who led
his regiment into battle
only to be court-martialed
and dismissed from the
Confederate Army;
• The one-legged veteran who
defended his town when
nobody else would;
• The Georgia belle who
caught General Sherman's
eye, and twenty years later,
stayed his hand in war;
• A loyal and principled
Confederate officer
who met with President
Abraham Lincoln to discuss
Georgia withdrawing from the
Confederacy.
Traced
with Fire, Written in Blood
is a 6" by 9" hardback book
of more than 200 pages
featuring more than 150
photographs, many never
before published in book
form. $26.95
