Description
Contents: The General’s Tour – Savannah: Mr. Lincoln’s Christmas Present (Leaving much of Atlanta in flames behind him, Major General William T. Sherman and 60,000 hard-bitten Yankees embarked on a fiery trek across Georgia to the sea. It was November, 1864. With no base of supplies, living off the land and “foraging liberally” from the civilian population, Sherman’s army could ill afford to be stalled for any period of time. They had to keep moving to stay alive. Savannah was his target, and waiting for him there was Lieutenant General William J. Hardee with a mixed and meager force of veterans, militia, and even some turncoat Yankees. Another David and Goliath match-up appeared in the offing. And what of the fate of the beautiful old city of Savannah? Many held their breath…); Unsolved Mysteries – The Shelton Laurel Massacre: Murder in the North Carolina Mountains (A Confederate hero of Gettysburg linked to mass murder? Did it plague his mind as he led his division down Chambersburg Pike on July 1, 1863? Only Henry Heth knew for sure…); Controversy – The Great Imposters (They were the last veterans of the great War between the States. They marched to parades as the highest honored of old soldiers. And most of them were imposters, pathetically living out the lies they’d created for a few pension dollars…); Audio/Video Reviews – Jefferson Davis’ Greatest Mistake (Greg Briggs lets you know what’s new on the audio/video market, from a recent video-lecture on the leadership qualities of Joe Johnston, to an old-time radio format on the battle of Gettysburg…) Regulars – Response; Book Reviews; Camp Talk; Blue & Gray Sutler
