In 1861, thousands of Georgians left their homes and plunged themselves into a fight with an unknown future. Unfortunately, many of their stories of valor and even dishonor are still hidden in attics and dusty archives and are waiting to be found and told. Fox’s discovery of many unpublished letters and diaries written by 35th Georgia veterans ensures that their never-before-told-story will finally have an audience. This unit numbered 1,330 soldiers during the four long years of war, and almost half of these men failed to return home.

They came to Virginia and fought at many bloody places under the command of famous men like Stonewall Jackson, A.P. Hill and Robert E. Lee. When the handful of 35th Georgia survivors surrendered in 1865, they could proudly say that no enemy hand ever touched their banner during combat. This comprehensive 496-page hardback brings their voices to life and follows them from their 1861 enlistment through four long years of illness, exhaustion, starvation and death. Now, present day Americans will be able to use this book as a resource for years to come thanks to the 22 maps, 74 photos and complete soldiers’ roster.
