Dr. Derden to host 'Sherman's March'
Sherman's March was one of the central events of the American Civil War. Praised by some as a valuable step in hastening the end of the bloody conflict, and by others as a barbaric act, the March left indelible memories in the minds of civilians and combatants alike. Since 1989, Dr. Derden has conducted this tour of Sherman's March. In recent years, he has expanded the scope of the tour with a living history component. Participants will learn about the significant sites--Union campsites, Camp Lawton, Big Buckhead Church- and hear local anecdotes related to the March through east central Georgia. Lunch and transportation are included with trip fee. The tour will end with a return to the East Georgia College campus by 6 p.m. Anyone with an interest in the Civil War or local history, members of local historical societies, or those just looking for an interesting outing are welcome. Sponsored by the Department of Continuing Education at East Georgia College, the tour fee (which includes all expenses) is $70 ($80 after Jan. 27). If interested, contact the Department of Continuing Education at (478) 289-2108.
