Georgia in the War, 1861-1865 by Charles Jones Edgeworth, first published in 1909, is a rare manuscript, the original residing in one of the great libraries of the world. This book is a reproduction of that original, which has been scanned and cleaned by state-of-the-art publishing tools for better readability and enhanced appreciation. Restoration Editors' mission is to bring long out of print manuscripts back to life. Some smudges, annotations or unclear text may still exist, due to permanent damage to the original work. We believe the literary significance of the text justifies offering this reproduction, allowing a new generation to appreciate it.

Book contains information on pension, land, loyalist records, military accounts, petitions and other information about the citizens of Georgia that served in the Continental Army. Georgia was the only one of the thirteen colonies that was completely conquered by the British and restored to the status of a colony. Only some forty percent of the families living there before the war remained after the fighting was over.
