TO THE GASCREVE-L folks: Here is an email that I sent to different folks last night. I thought you might be interested, too. I recommend this book if you have folks in Bulloch, Tattnall, Mongomery, etc. Counties. This book is written from a countryboy Private's point-of-view. Smith C. Banks ====================================== > Hello! > I am forwarding the email below to let you know that now available is > the reprinted book, "A Soldlier's Story of His Regiment - 61st Georgia > Infantry Regiment" by George Washington Nichols (originally pubished in > 1898). Mr. Nichols was from Bulloch County and a private in Co. D, > DeKalb Guards from Bulloch. He took a year out of his life to write this > book. The book grew out of letters he wrote to a Bulloch County newspaper > in the 1880s to reminisce his war experiences.
