1, 417 Days in Rebellion 
A History of the 19th Georgia Regiment

The Civil War is the greatest tragedy ever experienced by our nation. The repercussions of the war are still alive today, almost 160 years after the final shots were fired in April 1865. Many books have been written on the battles, the campaigns, and strategic troop movements. 1, 417 Days in Rebellion: A History of the 19th Georgia Regiment provides a view of the war from one regiment.

Follow the 19th Georgia from formation and training at Big Shanty, now Kennesaw, Georgia, to the final surrender near Durham Station, North Carolina. From as far north as Sharpsburg, Maryland, to the sandy soil of north central Florida, the 19th Georgia was in every major battle fought by the Army of Northern Virginia, except Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, and The Wilderness.
