    Description

    Up for sale is a very interesting volume on the history of Georgia from the founding of the colony until just prior to the Civil War.  It would be of interest to the historian and also to the genealogist.

    George Gillmore Smith, DD was born in 1836, Sheffield, Newton County, Georgia.  He attended Emory College for 8 months in 1855.  (The college would confer the D.D. degree upon him in 1867.)  Beginning in 1857, he served several communities as a Methodist minister.  At the start of the Civil War, Smith joined the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia as a chaplain.  (In the Preface to the Second Edition, he speaks of his admiration for General Robert Toombs, whom he describes as his friend and commanding officer.)  Smith was severely wounded at the Battle of Antietam and was forced to return to Georgia.  After several years he had recovered sufficiently to resume his work as a minister, serving in Maryland and West Virginia, prior to a series of appointments in his home state of Georgia.  In 1888, he retired from active ministry and devoted himself to writing.  He died in 1913.  Some of his books were on the history of Methodism (in the South).  Others concerned specific historical figures (including James Osgood Andrews, George Foster Pierce, and Francis Asbury).  Still others were about the Civil War (e.g. "Boy in Gray").

    Attention US Buyers:  I will ship by USPS Media Mail or by USPS Priority Mail, your choice.  Please note that if you have a Military Mail address (e.g. APO), I must ask that you choose USPS Priority Mail as it is my understanding that USPS Media Mail is unreliable to Military Mail addresses.
    Attention International Buyers:
    Unfortunately, it appears that international shipping from the US (via the USPS) has become unreliable, because of the pandemic.  Therefore, I have decided to remove the international shipping option.  You are still welcome to bid on this item, but will need to supply a shipping address in the US.  I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  Thank you for your understanding.
