A thoroughly researched account of a memorable Civil War battle Columbus, Georgia, 1865 is a comprehensive study of the Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865, con?ict, which occurred in the dark of night and extended over a mile and half through a series of forts and earthworks and was ?nally decided in an encounter on a bridge a thousand feet in length. This volume offers the ?rst complete account of this battle, examining and recounting in depth not only the composition and actions of the contending forces, which numbered some three thousand men on each side, but meticulously detailing the effect of the engagement on the city of Columbus and its environs. Misulia’s study ?lls in an omission in the grand account of our cataclysmic national struggle and adds a signi?cant chapter to the history of an important regional city. In addition, Misulia takes on the long-vexing question of which encounter should be recognized as the last battle of the Civil War and argues persuasively that Columbus, Georgia, quali?es for this distinction on a number of counts.

The Battle of Columbus was one of the last events in the long and violent American Civil War. The Union Cavalry Corps commanded by Major General James H. Wilson attacked the composite remnants of both Alabama and Georgia troops commanded by Major General Howell Cobb. The industrial center of Columbus, Georgia was a target in a series of planned attacks in a campaign that had begun that spring. Sweeping eastward across Alabama and Georgia to eliminate Confederate resistance, destroy materiel and industrial facilities, "Wilson's Raid" was a brilliant Union success.On April 16, 1865 the Union cavalry forces attacked the western earthwork defenses that guarded the Confederate industrial center of Columbus, Georgia. While the war effectively ended with Lee's surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 9, 1865, Wilson was attacking a region with severed lines of communications and he was uncertain of this rumored circumstance until days after the battle of Columbus. Sweeping eastward Wilson's Union cavalry then shattered resistance in Selma, Alabama on April 2nd, and intimidated the old Confederate capital of Montgomery into surrendering without a fight on April 12th. As the demoralized Confederates fled into Georgia, hasty defenses were organized along the strategic bridges of the Chattahoochee River at Columbus, Georgia. The Confederate trenches that defended the key bridges along the Chattahoochee River were the final barrier the last bastion standing in the Confederacy. Fought on April 16-17, 1865, this bloody yet often overlooked battle served as the final struggle of significance in the Civil War.Columbus, Georgia was a valuable Confederate commodity as the town was a large industrial center. With the exception of the arsenal and manufacturing done at Richmond, Columbus was a Confederate lifeline providing pistols, swords, bayonets, shoes, uniforms, tents, buckets, and a multitude of accoutrements. It also served as a Naval port and shipbuilding facility. Furthermore, Columbus served as the regional hub for cotton warehousing and transshipment via the Chattahoochee River, which empties southward into the Gulf of Mexico.The Confederate defenders were determined to keep the Union raiders out of Georgia.

Did a shy country girl named Isabella Burt shapeshift into a beast and steal off into the night to sink fang and claw into unsuspecting bovines? With Burt more than one hundred years in the grave, the question lingers, along with a litany of unsettling Columbus lore. Author Faith Serafin is here to make sure these legends aren't altogether forgotten. There might even be profit in recollecting. Consider the lost gold of the Confederacy, once thought to be housed in what became Iron Bank Coffee. Take a step back and peer into the night sky with young Jimmy Carter to determine for yourself what strange light flashes above the tree line, and dare to parse fact from fiction with the legend of the Brickyard Road Witch. The stories here, multifold and confounding, test the limits of even the most skeptical.

Columbus is the third-largest city in Georgia, and Red Clay, White Water, and Blues is its first comprehensive history. Virginia E. Causey documents the city's founding in 1828 and brings its story to the present, examining the economic, political, social, and cultural changes over the period. It is the first history of the city that analyzes the significant contributions of all its citizens, including African Americans, women, and the working class. Causey, who has lived and worked in Columbus for more than forty years, focuses on three defining characteristics of the city's history: the role that geography has played in its evolution, specifically its location on the Chattahoochee River along the Fall Line, making it an ideal place to establish water-powered textile mills; the fact that the control of city's affairs rested in the hands of a particular business elite; and the endemic presence of violence that left a "bloody trail" throughout local history. Causey traces the life of Columbus: its founding and early boom years; the Civil War and its aftermath; conflicts as a modern city emerged in the first half of the twentieth century; racial tension and economic decline in the mid-to-late 1900s; and rebirth and revival of the city in the twenty-first century. Peppered throughout are compelling anecdotes about the city's most colorful characters, including Sol Smith and His Dramatic Company, music phenom Blind Tom Wiggins, suffragist Augusta Howard, industrialist and philanthropist G. Gunby Jordan, peanut purveyor Tom Huston, blueswoman Ma Rainey, novelist Carson McCullers, and insurance magnate John Amos.
