Courtney begins our haunted history journey with Volume One on Civil War Ghosts of Georgia surveying the sites of bloody engagements as the Civil War raged through Georgia, starting in the mountains of northwest Georgia at Chickamauga through the Atlanta Campaign and the infamous March to the Sea the following year. But, Georgia's time in the war truly began in 1861. 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. Soldiers and Generals left home in hopes of securing a Confederacy and maintaining their views on life in the South. 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. There's even a legendary Georgia canine who bequeathed unto us a story of love and loyalty in a time fraught with death and fear. 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. Learn how the Georgia of present is still defined by the harrowing past of 1861-1865 in Civil War Ghosts of Georgia.
