A photographic history of Georgia in the Civil War

by Anne J. Bailey

From the first Georgians to march north to fight under Robert E. Lee, through the Battle of Chickamauga, the Atlanta Campaign, the March to the Sea, and the awful conditions of Andersonville, Anne J. Bailey and Walter J. Fraser, Jr., have compiled 260 photographs, four maps, and related documents that detail the physical and spiritual suffering of soldiers, slaves, and civilians in their fight for their country, land, and their own freedom. Centering on the common soldier, Portraits of Conflict: A Photographic History of Georgia in the Civil War, the fifth volume in the University of Arkansas Press's award-winning series, tells the stories of the actual people, rich and poor, whose lives were changed forever by the nation's great drama.
