General Sherman and the Georgia Belles: Tales from Women Left Behind

In 1864, General William Tecumseh Sherman and 60,000 Union soldiers embarked on a sixty-mile wide path of destruction through central Georgia now known as Sherman’s March to the Sea. Georgians scrambled to resist this infamous campaign wherever possible, and opposition came from many unexpected sources, including the brave women of the Peach State.

In every sense “steel magnolias,” Georgia’s women were poised to stand firm in the face of an invasion meant to sever them from home and family. This book explores the brave contributions these women made in the face of severe destruction and loss.

Cathy Kaemmerlen, a renowned storyteller and historical interpreter, provides a colorful collection of tales of exceptional Georgia women who made great sacrifices in an effort to save their families and homes. From the innocent diary of a 10-year-old girl to the words of a woman who risks everything to see her husband one last time, Kaemmerlen exposes the grit and gumption of these remarkable Southern women in inspiring and entertaining fashion.

Review

“I started reading your book last night. There is a whole world dedicated to women’s history that I have been interested in and never knew existed. Thank you for providing the portal for me to make this journey. . . Your combination of research and creativity is inspiring . . .  A recent comment is I am one of the “top 5 entertainers in the US”! I am sure when I met you I met my match. The book is signed “May you be inspired by the Georgia belles”. I am inspired, by who you wrote about in your book as well as reading how you, as a current Georgia belle help people learn. Thank you.” — Debra Hansford

Available on Amazon.com and as an eBook.

  2. Thanks for some other magnificent post. The place else may just anyone get that kind of info in such a perfect means of writing? I’ve a presentation subsequent week, and I’m on the search for such information.

  3. Long time reader, first time commenter — so, thought I’d
    drop a comment.. — and at the same time ask for a favor.

    Your wordpress site is very simplistic – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
    (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my small businesses site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site
    down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback)

    Keep up the good work– and take care of yourself during the
    coronavirus scare!

  4. Fantastic blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a
    paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m
    completely confused .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!

  5. Honestly, I guess such articles should be printed more and more because of the present situation and contemporary demands of the Millenials.
    I read them to find some new information that will correspond to
    my demands, such specific information I found on https://cbwtransparency.org/where-to-find-a-reflection-paper-example/. Every
    one of us has a proper understanding of the information supplied to the public, so I truly liked the article and expected you to supply us
    with more things like this one.

  6. First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t
    mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and
    clear your thoughts before writing. I’ve had trouble clearing
    my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying
    to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Kudos!

    • Janelle:
      Thanks for your comments. I am a flow person and it sounds like you are too once you get started. Have you tried dictating your story to get started or talking about it out loud? You need to find some sort of prompt–a spark. Just begin and don’t worry about having a finished start–that can come with the editing. Good luck and happy writing!
