Joe Brown's pets

Description:

"Civil War historians William R. Scaife and William Harris Bragg have not only written the first history of the Georgia Militia during the Civil War: they have produced the definitive account, taking into consideration the military, social, and political ramifications of the organization. Relying on an impressive array of original sources - many of them drawn from previously untapped materials in the Georgia Archives - the authors have told the story of "Joe Brown's Pets" with satisfying detail. Illustrated by an abundance of period photographs and engravings, as well as maps and plans, their account finally provides a much-needed history of one of the Civil War's most colorful and intriguing bodies of troops."--BOOK JACKET.
