Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. 112 pages. Illustrated endpapers. Signed and inscribed by the author on the Acknowledgments page. Inscription reads: To Skeet Willingham, a fabulous historian.

In May 1861, Private Henry Clay Harper, together with eighty other men, joined a military unit from Waynesboro, Georgia, known as the Burke County Sharpshooters. This unit, with nine units from the counties of Banks, Meriwether, Moscogee, Finnin, Cherokee, Whitfield, Marion, and Stewart, comprised the Second Georgia Infantry Regiment. The Second, with the Fifteenth, Seventeenth, and Twentieth Regiments, was, throughout the duration of the war, a part of the Fifteenth (Toombs-Benning's) Brigade, Hood's Division, First Army (Longstreet's) Corps, Army of North Virginia. The Second Georgia Infantry Regiment fought in all of the most famous and important campaigns of the Eastern theater of the American Civil War. This account also follows the trail of The Second Georgia's regimental flag from its creation by the women of Burke County, Georgia to its appearance in many battles before its retirement in place of the Confederate battle flag, and finally, its return home to the care of those who made it. The book contains many maps and illustrations, many of which are in color. Also contains References and an Index. Robert M. Willingham, Jr., was a native of Washington, Georgia. He was the author of several books on his native Wilkes County, as well as works on Georgia and Confederate bibliography and sports history. Mr. Willingham worked on Capitol Hill during this momentous period of U.S. political history. Derived from a review found on-line: The 2nd Georgia Infantry carved out a solid Confederate record as part of General Robert A. Toombs' Brigade (later "Rock" Benning's) in the Army of Northern Virginia. Across several decades of reviewing Confederate books, I cannot remember seeing more than a half-dozen books as beautifully produced as this one. The Second Georgia placed among three finalists for the annual Benjamin Franklin Award, bestowed by the Independent Book Publishers Association for "excellence in independent publishing." The association defines the criterion as "editorial and design merit." The illustrations, stunningly reproduced on rich paper, constitute the book's great strength. Rosters of all 10 companies of the 2nd Georgia, on pages 84-103, afforded the author the opportunity to make a worthwhile contribution to the records of the regiment's soldiers.
