The author was a prolific Georgia history and natural history author.

Many of Georgia's Civil War battlefields particularly those around Atlanta have been lost to modern urban development. However a number of sites have been well preserved including Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Other sites related to the Civil War include Stone Mountain Fort Pulaski and the Atlanta Cyclorama. A number of antebellum mansions and plantations in Georgia are preserved and open to the public particularly around Atlanta and Savannah. Portions of the Civil War-era Western & Atlantic Railroad have historical markers commemorating events during the war including several sites associated with the Andrews Raid. The Civil War Heartland Leaders Trail includes 46 sites from Gainesville to Millegeville. Another area near Atlanta with Civil War history is in the Sweetwater Creek State Park in Douglas County Georgia. At this location is one of the last standing buildings burned by General Sherman's army New Manchester Mill. Georgia was one of the original seven slave states that formed the Confederate States of America in February 1861 triggering the U.S. Civil War. The state governor Democrat Joseph E. Brown wanted locally raised troops to be used only for the defense of Georgia in defiance of Confederate president Jefferson Davis who wanted to deploy them on other battlefronts. When the Union blockade prevented Georgia from exporting its plentiful cotton in exchange for key imports Brown ordered farmers to grow food instead but the breakdown of transport systems led to desperate shortages. There was not much fighting in Georgia until September 1863 when Confederates under Braxton Bragg defeated William S. Rosecrans at Chickamauga Creek. In May 1864 William T. Sherman started pursuing the Confederates towards Atlanta which he captured in September in advance of his March to the Sea. This six-week campaign destroyed much of the civilian infrastructure of Georgia decisively shortening the war. When news of the march reached Robert E. Lee's army in Virginia whole Georgian regiments deserted feeling they were needed at home. The Battle of Columbus fought on the Georgia-Alabama border on April 16 1865 is reckoned by some criteria to have been the last battle of the war. Governor Joseph E. Brown was a leading secessionist and led efforts to remove the state from the Union and into the Confederacy. A firm believer in state's rights he defied the Confederate government's wartime policies. He resisted the Confederate military draft and tried to keep as many soldiers at home as possible to fight invading forces. Brown challenged Confederate impressment of animals goods and slaves. Several other governors followed his lead. During the war Georgia sent nearly 100000 men to battle for the Confederacy mostly to the Virginian armies. Despite secession many southerners in North Georgia remained loyal to the Union. A total of nearly 550 battles and skirmishes occurred within the state with the majority occurring in the last two years of the conflict. The first major battle in Georgia was a Confederate victory at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863 which was the last major Confederate victory in the west. In 1864 Union general William T. Sherman's armies invaded Georgia as part of the Atlanta Campaign. Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston fought a series of battles the largest being the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain trying to delay Union armies for as long as possible as he retreated toward Atlanta. Johnston's replacement Gen. John Bell Hood attempted several unsuccessful counterattacks at the Battle of Peachtree Creek and the Battle of Atlanta but Sherman captured Atlanta on September 2 1864. In December 1864 Sherman captured Savannah before leaving Georgia in January 1865 to begin his Carolinas Campaign. However there were still several small fights in Georgia after his departure. On April 16 1865 the Battle of Columbus was fought on the Georgia-Alabama border. In 1935 the state legislature officially declared this engagement as the "last battle of the War Between the States.
