No sport rivals football for building character. In the scorching heat of two-a-days and the fierce combat of the gridiron, true leaders are born.

Until now, a daily account (1,630 days) of Georgia's social, political, economic, and military events during the Civil War did not exist. During the 160 years since the conflict's termination, many fine accounts of wartime Georgia have rolled off various presses. Each daily entry derives from a quill scrolling the parchment or a press imprinting type on the day the activity occurred. Maps, footnotes, a detailed index, and bibliographical references will aid those wanting more.
