<p>Georgia's Colony of Roswell presents a brief history of Roswell, its founding families, and the town's occupation during the American Civil War. Based upon the latest research, this book presents the compelling story of a small frontier settlement and its development into a thriving mill village. Additionally, Mrs Snoby presents detailed genealogical research into The Colony's founding families and an introduction to the town's architecture. Roswell, Georgia, has a rich history as a 19th Century textile mill town. The six founding families brought their values, beliefs and customs from New England, Virginia, the Carolinas, and coastal Georgia to this frontier colony. Roswell’s history reflects the growth and struggles of our young country after the War for Independence (Revolutionary War). It is a unique Southern town whose story is told over and over again to tourists, history lovers, children and residents. While Roswell King was building his dream among the pleasant foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, another people were struggling to survive the plans of the Federal and Georgia governments. These people were the Cherokees, who for hundreds of years, had lived and died on this tribal land. Georgia instituted a land lottery system to distribute land taken from the Cherokee Nation. Many of those who won the lottery lost interest when the gold mines no longer produced and sold their plots. The Colony of Roswell sits on such land. Roswell kIng's son, Barrington, enticed some families to invest and move to The Colony. Many of them viewed King’s dream as a refuge from the sick seasonal months, when malaria and mosquitoes plagued coastal Georgia. The Colony would be a permanent haven to educate and raise their families in a secluded safe environment...until the Union troops under General William T. Sherman arrived one hot July day in 1864. Nothing would ever be the same.</p>

April's Revolution: A Modern Perspective of American Medical Care of Civil War Soldiers and African Slaves

The American Civil War is often studied because of its battles, but people tend to ignore how it helped revolutionize the medical field. Bloodshed on the battlefield and the spread of disease led to advances in medical decision making and clinical knowledge. The war also triggered the birth of the nursing profession, the organization of the American health system, and the clinical usage of diagnostic equipment in approaches to disease management. Author Paulette Snoby, a registered nurse and award-winning research nurse, examines primary and secondary sources to show how medical treatments advanced during wartime, focusing on the explosion of innovation during the Civil War. By examining case histories, soldier and surgeon diaries, cemetery records, and other sources, she highlights important medical advances and also explores how African slaves in the South were cared for differently from the general population. A thorough scholarly study, April's Revolution offers information on slave infirmaries, early herbal remedies used by the slave population, and a better understanding of how our nation's past wars affect the history of medicine.
