Civil War Ghosts of North Georgia by Jim Miles Pdf

The author of Haunted North Georgia stalks the Civil War ghosts that populate the top of the Peach State. Though Georgia was spared the hard hand of war for two years, combat arrived with a vengeance in September 1863 with the Battle of Chickamauga in north Georgia. It was the second largest battle of the Civil War and has become one of America’s most haunted battlefields, producing a long history of bizarre paranormal events that continue today. From Sherman’s notorious march to Confederate general James Longstreet’s continued inhabitance of his postwar home, Georgia is haunted by many of those who fought in America’s deadliest war. Join author Jim Miles as he details the ghosts that still roam Georgia’s Civil War battlefields, hospitals, and antebellum homes. Includes photos! “He’s a connoisseur of Georgia’s paranormal related activity, having both visited nearly every site discussed in his series of Civil War Ghost titles . . . Miles has covered a lot of ground so far from the bustling cities to the small towns seemingly in the middle of nowhere. This daunting task takes an inside look to the culture and stories that those born in Georgia grow up hearing about and connect with.” —The Red & Black

Civil War Ghosts of Georgia by Courtney McInvale Pdf

Courtney McInvale continues our journey with a closer lens on the men of Georgia - some of whom became officers and even generals, brothers who became soldiers fighting in arms together and those whose names became synonymous with the word "hero" or "legend" in the Peach State. From General Longstreet in Gainesville to the brothers Jeffers in Macon, we meet the souls who have made themselves known in their spectral presence or legendary stories and who represent all the unknown soldiers whose names we do not know or whose stories were not recorded. As the war slowly made its way to Georgia's doorstep in the first couple of years before it left the fighting men of the North and South on the battlefields of their Western Theater landscape, Georgia's sons found themselves across the Eastern Theater from Chancellorsville to Gettysburg, Sharpsburg to Murfreesboro and beyond. Georgia had one of the largest shows of force and provided a massive landscape to the American Civil War. As such, there remains a spirit of a fighting Georgia, spirits of her conflicted past and plentiful tales of souls who have long left this physical world, yet have left behind legacies, legend, and tales of curious lore. Explore where the men of Georgia fought and how they banded together as brothers in arms, as friends and as family. Journey through the war in Georgia's backyard and beyond, and learn how the Georgia of present is still defined by the harrowing past of 1861-1865 in Civil War Ghosts of Georgia. Georgia's sites provide the setting of some of the most phenomenal supernatural and legendary stories, and together in Volume 2, we will discuss the most haunting legends that come from this corner of the Deep South.

Civil War Ghosts of Atlanta by Jim Miles Pdf

The author of the Civil War Explorer series unearths the ghostly legends and lore that haunt Georgia’s capital city since the War Between the States. The Atlanta metropolis is one of America’s most modern and progressive cities, it’s easy to forget that 150 years ago it was the scene of a long and deadly campaign. Union general William T. Sherman hammered relentlessly against Atlanta at Kennesaw Mountain, Peachtree Creek, Ezra Church, and Jonesboro. Months later, as he began his infamous March to the Sea, much of Atlanta was destroyed by fire. Thousands died in the fighting, and thousands more succumbed to wounds and disease in large hospitals constructed around the city. Today, ghosts of Atlanta’s Civil War haunt battlefields, hospital sites, cemeteries, homes, and commercial structures, all a testament to the tragic history of the city. Join author Jim Miles as he details the Civil War spirits that still haunt Atlanta. Includes photos! “He’s a connoisseur of Georgia’s paranormal related activity, having both visited nearly every site discussed in his series of Civil War Ghost titles . . .

Tales from the Haunted South by Tiya Miles Pdf

In this book Tiya Miles explores the popular yet troubling phenomenon of "ghost tours," frequently promoted and experienced at plantations, urban manor homes, and cemeteries throughout the South. As a staple of the tours, guides entertain paying customers by routinely relying on stories of enslaved black specters. But who are these ghosts? Examining popular sites and stories from these tours, Miles shows that haunted tales routinely appropriate and skew African American history to produce representations of slavery for commercial gain. "Dark tourism" often highlights the most sensationalist and macabre aspects of slavery, from salacious sexual ties between white masters and black women slaves to the physical abuse and torture of black bodies to the supposedly exotic nature of African spiritual practices. Because the realities of slavery are largely absent from these tours, Miles reveals how they continue to feed problematic "Old South" narratives and erase the hard truths of the Civil War era. In an incisive and engaging work, Miles uses these troubling cases to shine light on how we feel about the Civil War and race, and how the ghosts of the past are still with us.

The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory by Matthew Christopher Hulbert Pdf

The Civil War tends to be remembered as a vast sequence of battles, with a turning point at Gettysburg and a culmination at Appomattox. But in the guerrilla theater, the conflict was a vast sequence of home invasions, local traumas, and social degeneration that did not necessarily end in 1865. This book chronicles the history of “guerrilla memory,” the collision of the Civil War memory “industry” with the somber realities of irregular warfare in the borderlands of Missouri and Kansas. In the first accounting of its kind, Matthew Christopher Hulbert’s book analyzes the cultural politics behind how Americans have remembered, misremembered, and re-remembered guerrilla warfare in political rhetoric, historical scholarship, literature, and film and at reunions and on the stage. By probing how memories of the guerrilla war were intentionally designed, created, silenced, updated, and even destroyed, Hulbert ultimately reveals a continent-wide story in which Confederate bushwhackers—pariahs of the eastern struggle over slavery—were transformed into the vanguards of American imperialism in the West.

Ghosts of the Confederacy by Gaines M. Foster Pdf

Through an examination of memoirs, personal papers, and postwar Confederate rituals, this book explores how white southerners interpreted the Civil War, accepted defeat, and readily embraced reunion and a New South. It reveals that while the Lost Cause was a central force in shaping late 19th-century southern culture, the legacy of defeat ultimately had little impact on southern behavior.
