Hardcover in DUST JACKRY CONDITION GOOD SIGNED BY PREVIOUS OWNER-COPYRIGHT 1997-BOOK SIZE 6 3/8 X 9 1/4 Oglethorpe Pr (January 1, 1997) Language : English Hardcover : 321 pages...excellent history of the city of Savannah and its citizens during the course of the Civil War. Most people only know of Civil War Savannah as the end point of Sherman's famed "March to the Sea", but Savannah was more than that. At one time it was the chief shipping point for getting cotton to Eurpoean factories, and in return receiving munitions, etc. The North recognized its importance, because it blockaded the coast there as soon as it was feasible, and sent several "monitors" (iron-clad warships) to sustain the blockade. This book covers Savannah from the beginning of the war until Sherman marches in virtually unopposed in December of 1864, in time to preesnt the city as a Christmas gift to President Lincoln. The book is based upon many diaries, manuscripts, etc., from both sides in the conflict, and the contemporaneousness of the writings add immeasurably to the tale. It seems the women of Savannah were much more rabid secessionists than the men, but that may have been true of other places in the South. This is a mere sideline to the course of the war, but it is well worth reading......easy to read history of Savannah during the Civil War. Covers succession, call up of the soldiers and creation of army units from Georgia, Confederate possession and Yankee attack on Fort Pulaski, effects of the blockade, the cruise of the ironclad Atlanta, battles at Fort McAllister, difficulties experienced by the civilians, views of the women, and Sherman's capture of the city.
