Confederate Graves of Walker County Georgia is a collection of information found on all the known Confederate Veterans buried in Walker County Georgia between 1996 and 2015. Every effort was made to find all the Confederate Veterans buried in Walker County Georgia, but most likely several veterans graves have been lost in time and will never be found with the available resources. No doubt you will find errors in this work, but I ask you to over look my faults, for I assure you, any mistake or any Confederate veteran left out was not intended. A special thanks: To all the property owners that gave permission to visit the private cemeteries, to the communities, churches, historic sources, photos and everyone that helped in anyway. To the late David Espy, Commander of SCV Camp 599 in LaFayette Georgia, for his many years of friendship and devotion to the Sons of Confederate Veterans. To Commander John Culpepper, Commander of Camp 1977 in Chickamauga Georgia, for his many years of inspiration and dedication to all the history of Chickamauga, Walker County and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. To the members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Walker County Georgia, who have always dedicated their efforts to preserving all of Walker County's History. I have had the privilege to be a member of and serve as an officer of both Walker County, Sons of Confederate Veteran Camps for many years.

Spanning nearly a century, the letters in this collection revolve around a central event in the history of a southern family: the death of the eldest son owing to sickness contracted during service in the Confederate Army. The letters reveal a slaveowning family with keen interests in art, music, and nature and an unshakable belief in their religion and in the Confederate cause. William Seagrove Smith was a private in the signal corps of the Eighteenth Battalion, Georgia Infantry. Smith was part of the force defending Savannah until it fell in late 1864, and then marched with General William J. Hardee in his famous retreat out of the city and through the Carolinas. Like so many other soldiers on both sides of the conflict, William Smith fell not at the hands of an enemy but from disease. He died in Raleigh, North Carolina, on July 7, 1865. A parallel and complementary story about William's younger brother, Archibald, also emerges in the letters. As a cadet at Georgia Military Institute, Archibald was (as his parents fervently wished) exempt from service; however, he ultimately saw--and survived--action before the war's end. Scattered among the many lines in the letters that are devoted to the two brothers are a wealth of particulars about agricultural, industrial, and social life in the family's north Georgia community of Roswell, the Smith family's flight from Sherman's invasion force, their lives as refugees in south Georgia, and a final reunion of the Smith brothers outside of Savannah just after the city's fall. Also included are a number of moving exchanges between the Smiths and the family that cared for William in his final days. A brief history of the Smith family through 1863 begins the correspondence, while the letters following the war reveal their fortitude in the face of William's death and the hardships of Reconstruction. The volume concludes with selected letters from the subsequent generation of Smiths, who conjure images of the Old South and revive the memory of William. Like the most distinguished Civil War-era letter collections, The Death of a Confederate introduces a personal dimension to its story that is often lost in histories of this sweeping event.

"The heroism of the men in the Eleventh Battalion Georgia Light Artillery is a story that needs to be told." -Jimmy Carter, former president of the United States "Unique photographs and thorough individual war service record briefs make this book valuable as a research tool for personal, school, and public libraries alike." -Ben C. Sewell III, executive director, Sons of Confederate Veterans Beginning with Georgia's decision to secede from the union, author James L. Speicher chronicles the history of the little-known battalion that bravely fought for the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865. With more than eight hundred members serving at various points during the Civil War, most men in the unit, many of whom died on the battlefield, were from Sumter County, Georgia. Speicher details the horrific conditions they faced during their clashes, including the battle at Dranesville, which resulted in the most bloodshed experienced by the unit. Diary entries and personal letters, provided by descendants of the soldiers, illustrate daily life during the war. Rather than analyze the underlying causes of the war, the author focuses on the men who endured it, the men of the Sumter Flying Artillery. Speicher's scope includes Allen Sherrod Cutts, the battery's first commander and most prominent member. This remarkable man received personal congratulations from Gen. Robert E. Lee for leading his battalion to safety during the deadly battle of South Mountain in 1862. Highlights include pictures of the men before they left for battle, portraits of the Confederates in uniform, and images of the unit's flag. Appendixes provide a full roster listing each member's name, rank, and enlistment date, along with a section detailing the organization of the unit and the specific cannon used by the Sumter Battalion. With maps illustrating the position of the battery during specific battles, such as Gettysburg, and information on each officer, this book is an asset to genealogists and students of the Civil War. ABOUT THE AUTHOR James L. Speicher served in the U.S. Army for thirty years. He is a life member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and Missouri's Civil War Heritage Foundation, among other organizations. After earning his B.A. in history from the Citadel, he obtained an A.A.S. in law enforcement from Oakland Community College and advanced degrees from Wayne State University and Webster University. Speicher resides in Shawnee, Kansas, with his wife.

The Boys of Chattahoochee: Sons of the Greatest Generation are memories recalled through-the-eyes of Cold War era military veterans. Tested up to and including the extremes of combat leadership in Vietnam, they were taught by one of the finest organizations in the world; the U.S. Army Infantry Officer Candidate School, OCS, at Fort Benning, Georgia. Eleven contributors placed their fingerprints upon these pages. From all parts of the USA they came together as classmates for a period of time that 50 years later continues to arouse the most deeply felt of feelings. What some might describe as typical sons of the Greatest Generation, you the readers will turn the pages to stories much more than expected as told by this assembly of young American boys turned into leaders of men.

From well-known battlefields, such as Manassas, Fredericksburg, and Appomattox, to lesser-known sites, such as Sinking Spring Cemetery and Rude’s Hill, Sedore leads readers on a vivid journey through Virginia’s Confederate history. Tablets, monoliths, courthouses, cemeteries, town squares, battlefields, and more are cataloged in detail and accompanied by photographs and meticulous commentary. Each entry contains descriptions, fascinating historical information, and location, providing a complete portrait of each site. Much more than a visual tapestry or a tourist’s handbook, An Illustrated Guide to Virginia’s Confederate Monuments draws on scholarly and field research to reveal these sites as public efforts to reconcile mourning with Southern postwar ideologies. Sedore analyzes in depth the nature of these attempts to publicly explain Virginia’s sense of grief after the war, delving deep into the psychology of a traumatized area. From commemorations of famous generals to memories of unknown soldiers, the dead speak from the pages of this sweeping companion to history.

They say history is written by the victors. In the case of the Civil War, that’s largely true. But historian Samuel Mitcham brings the Southern point of view to life in Voices from the Confederacy.  In it, you will read about the heroic, the scoundrels, the clever, the vanquished, and the hungry. Rich or poor, black or white, Voices from the Confederacy shares hundreds of poignant and revealing moments during the war between the states. From Voices from the Confederacy: Sara Pryor, the wife of Colonel Roger Pryor, the commander of the 3rd Virginia Infantry, heard the rumor that he was promoted to brigadier general. That day, Mrs. Pryor attended a reception at the Spotswood Hotel in Richmond, where she saw President Davis. “Is it true, Mr. President?” she asked. Had her husband been promoted? Mr. Davis smiled benevolently and replied, “I have no reason, Madam, to doubt it, except that I saw it this morning in the papers.” Robert E. Lee felt the same way as the president. He once sarcastically said to A. P. Hill: “We made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers.”
