The General William J. Hardee Camp #1397 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans Welcomes You!

We meet at 7:30 PM on the fourth Monday of each month at the former Historic Second Baptist Church of New Hope, Paulding County, Georgia.  This Historic Church is the beautiful White Frame Building at the intersection of the Dallas-Acworth Highway (Highway 381) and Bobo Road in New Hope, Paulding County, Georgia. This is the same intersection where New Hope Cemetery is.

Our next meeting is 7:30 PM on Monday, February 26, 2024, at the former Historic Second Baptist Church of New Hope. 

 

After a short discussion of Camp business we will be honored to have Dalton Attorney and Historian Robert Jenkins give a power point presentation on The Cassville Affairs, Johnston, Hood and The failed Confederate Strategy in the Atlanta Campaign, 19 May 1864, from his just released book under the same title.

 

In this book Bob, has researched and found the answers to the questions that have been unanswered on what really took place at Cassville, in May of 1864.  He has the events that took place around Adairsville, the fight for Rome to Cassville with 21 maps, and many pictures of Generals, historic locations that played apart in these events along with orders of battles from Dalton to Cassville for both Confederate and Federal armies, and Table of Confederate Casualties by Regiments from May 6-20, from Dalton, Resaca, Calhoun, Adairsville and Cassville, along with letters, orders and reports, with all of this footnoted, just to name some of what is in the book. 

 

Mr. Jenkins will have his new Cassville book available for purchase for $40.00 and will gladly sign it for you.  He also said he has just a few of his other book's he will bring if you missed out on getting those, they are also $40.00 each, The "Battle of Peachtree Creek: Hood's First Sortie, 20 July 1864", and "To The Gates of Atlanta: From Kennesaw Mountain to Peach Tree Creek, 1-19 July 1864" both of these are well researched and studied books.

 

 You do not want to miss this meeting, invite a friend for a wonderful time of fellowship as we learn about the war of our ancestors.
