The most in-depth and complete account of the heroic but vain fight of the Georgia troops made up of militia, state line, Athens and Augusta work battalions in their stand against Sherman's hardened veterans on their March to the Sea. In defense of family and homes the 4,000-5,000 Georgia troops under Brig. Gen. Phillips attacked the Union right wing at Griswoldville, Georgia November 22, 1864.  The Georgia troops surged forward seven times against the entrenched Union lines.  Statistics show more casualties than any other fight of the Civil War in proportion to the number of troops engaged.  Weaving eyewitness accounts, journal entries, military communiques, newspaper accounts with his insightful narrative style, Livingston reconstructs the events leading up to that fateful day and the battle in a Georgia corn field.  Livingston paints a vivid portrait and brings to life the intense and disastrous three hour battle.
