Civil War Ghosts of Georgia: Volume 2 - Paperback

by Courtney McInvale (Author)

Courtney McInvale continues our journey with a closer lens on the men of Georgia - some of whom became officers and even generals, brothers who became soldiers fighting in arms together and those whose names became synonymous with the word "hero" or "legend" in the Peach State. From General Longstreet in Gainesville to the brothers Jeffers in Macon, we meet the souls who have made themselves known in their spectral presence or legendary stories and who represent all the unknown soldiers whose names we do not know or whose stories were not recorded. As the war slowly made its way to Georgia's doorstep in the first couple of years before it left the fighting men of the North and South on the battlefields of their Western Theater landscape, Georgia's sons found themselves across the Eastern Theater from Chancellorsville to Gettysburg, Sharpsburg to Murfreesboro and beyond. Georgia had one of the largest shows of force and provided a massive landscape to the American Civil War. As such, there remains a spirit of a fighting Georgia, spirits of her conflicted past and plentiful tales of souls who have long left this physical world, yet have left behind legacies, legend, and tales of curious lore. Explore where the men of Georgia fought and how they banded together as brothers in arms, as friends and as family. Journey through the war in Georgia's backyard and beyond, and learn how the Georgia of present is still defined by the harrowing past of 1861-1865 in Civil War Ghosts of Georgia. Georgia's sites provide the setting of some of the most phenomenal supernatural and legendary stories, and together in Volume 2, we will discuss the most haunting legends that come from this corner of the Deep South.
