For all who relish tales of the Civil War, this work will provide a glimpse into the lives of the women and men who forever will be associated with Savannah through their wartime deeds. Beginning with secession fever in 1860, the author leads us through stories about Robert E. Lee's sojourn in Savannah, the building of the ironclads, the fall of Fort Pulaski and Fort McAllister, Sherman's march to the sea, and the death of the Confederacy in 1865.

From the Author
"The ghosts of pirates, patriots, cavaliers, and their ladies will forever dance about Savannah--creaking an occasional staircase or flitting through a fog-shrouded cemetery. . . . In this realm ring the echoes of cannon fire, the vistas of men in gray or blue marching in splendid columns, or slaves humming a soothing cadence while digging entrenchments or toiling in the fields. Yank or Reb, man or woman, free or slave, this is their story."

Savannah and the Civil War,
This review is from: Civil War Savannah (Paperback)
The book delivered what it's title suggested. It was well written and an easy read. I wanted something to prepare me for an Elderhostel program on Savannah and this was just right.
