These are true tales of life on a southern plantation during the Civil War. Creekside was built by Colonel Thomas George Walton in 1836. The house was used as a headquarters by Stoneman's Raiders in 1864. Civil War letters and official documents embellish the pages of the book, including 60 photographs. The tales are told in the words of the people who lived the events through their letters, diaries, and family stories passed down through generations.
