Contents: |
The collection consists of the papers of the Branch family of Savannah, Georgia from 1830-1961. The bulk of the collection
consists of correspondence between Charlotte Sawyer Branch and her sons John L., Sanford W., and Hamilton McDevil Branch,
who served mainly in the 8th Georgia Infantry Regiment during the Civil War.
The letters describe the 1st Battle of Bull Run, the death of John, the subsequent capture of Sanford (who had stayed with
his dying brother), the Seven Days Battle, the 2nd Battle of Bull Run, and the Battle of Gettysburg, where Sanford was wounded
and captured again. Hamilton transferred to the 54th Georgia Infantry Regiment and writes about the regiment's involvement
in the Atlanta Campaign, particularly the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. He also writes from Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee
while serving with Nathan Bedford Forrest.
