I have been led to believe that there was one, or two confederate camps in Athens. If this is true I would be very interested in any information about them. Are there historical markers to be found today at the location with information about the camps? > > Thanks, Larry > > > ==== GACLARKE Mailing List ==== > http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaclarke/ > Share your Wills and Bible records with everyone. > http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaclarke/Records/Wills/index.htm > http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaclarke/Records/Bible/index.htm > >
