Must Have for Georgia TravelersBy Robert HobbsI had been meaning to get this book for quite awhile since I am a big Civil War buff from Georgia and it had been in my Save for Later cart for the past few months. Price was a higher than I liked but sometimes you have to spend some money to get a good deal and this was one of them.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Old Photos of Familiar ScenesBy Hugh T. HarringtonAlong with the images of young soldiers staring at us through the veil of time we are given images of monuments and cemeteries when they; like the soldiers they honor; were young. Most of these statues and obelisks are still standing; still honoring the Confederate soldier; though now aged with a patina that only time can create. Dr. Wiggins has gone to enormous lengths to capture for all time the unique tributes Georgia has made to its soldiers of long ago.Hugh T. Harringtonauthor of: "Civil War Milledgeville; Tales From the Confederate Capital of Georgia;" "Remembering Milledgeville; Historic Tales From Georgia's Antebellum Capital" and "More Milledgeville Memories."
