Description

What is the truth about Nancy Hart, Georgia's legendary "War Woman" of the American Revolution? What is the connection between a Georgia defrocked Methodist minister and an award for bravery for members of the U.S. Marshals Service? Why was "the meanest man in Georgia" like a character out of Faulkner? How did a convicted murderer from Georgia end up playing a vital role in World War II's famous Great Escape? And how did a man born a slave in Georgia become the chief U.S. diplomat to Liberia? All these sidelines of history and more are explored, and more, in this collection of tales of Georgia and Georgians drawn from history.
