For Spring Break, I decided to take the boys to see the Grandparents, and along the way we scouted out a bunch of locations for the book. We were able to see the following locations: Sunshine Church (Where Stoneman was captured), Griswaldville Battlefield, Balls Ferry (where Sherman’s right wing crossed the Oconee River), Buckhead Creek and Buckhead Church, Camp Lawton (prison camp like Andersonville), Ebenezer Creek, Shaw’s Bridge, and Fort McAllister. We camped at Magnolia Springs State Park (where Camp Lawton is). On our way home we will stop in Milledgeville to check out the old Governor’s Mansion (where Sherman spent the night) and the old state house.
