This book was released on 2004 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Henry Lewis Benning described his brigade of Southern warriors as men who would simply not give up, even in the face of overwhelming odds. Comprised of the Second, Fifteenth (covered in Volume 1), Seventeenth, and Twentieth infantry regiments, Benning's Brigade consisted entirely of Georgia volunteers. These men represented the lifeblood of Georgia and they were determined to defend her sovereignty. These proud men defended Virginia soil while their own homes were being ravished by Sherman's "March to the Sea." The mental anguish endured by the Georgian soldiers during the winter of 1864-1865 is painfully evident in their letters and journals. First and primarily, the book is intended to accurately reflect the composition, strength, and disposition of the brigade, chronologically, throughout the Civil War, from its inception to its ultimate demobilization. Secondly, the narrative is filled with excerpts from diaries, journals, correspondence, and reports from the officers and men that wrote them. These personal reflections are intended to provide the reader with an intimate and uniquely southern perspective of the American Civil War. The regimental rosters in this book highlight each individual soldier. Personal information such as: rank; promotions; prisoner/exchange data (if captured); wounds or disabilities (hospitalization data); and either their cause of death and burial data; or parole information was gleaned from both Union and Confederate documents. Numerous vintage photographs, maps, charts, a bibliography, and an index augment the text. Anyone interested in the Civil War, Southern history, or Georgia history will want to add this volume to their library.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fort Benning's history tells the story of the US infantry. For most of a century, Fort Benning's infantry school has graduated the soldiers who lead as well as the fighting foot soldiers in the dirt and mud. Founded on farm land in Georgia, it has been one of the US Army's premier installations from the days of the Doughboys to a more modern era where Rangers proudly wear their Ranger berets." "Fort Benning's long history has produced an impressive alumni list. Eisenhower coached its football team. Marshall rewrote the curriculum. Patton pushed men to prepare for battle. Bradley organized its Officer Candidate School, a source for men of rank in World War II. Powell and Schwarzkopf were honor graduates, as were Eaton and Freakley and other heroes from the sands of Iraq." "Fort Benning trained soldiers in the art of the bayonet. It prepared them to jump out of airplanes. It discovered the mobility and power of helicopters. It honed the technology of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It has set the table for war in the trenches, war on the ground, war in the air, and war in the desert. Infantry has led the way and so has Fort Benning. It truly is the Home of the Infantry."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
