Toward the last, when Georgia was invaded by Sherman's army, he went on duty with reserves organized by Gov. Joseph E. Brown, and the duties assigned him during that memorable and lamentable period. He is thoroughly interested in the movement for the preservation of truthful records of the of the Southern soldiery, whom he faithfully supported during the great war, and has continued to befriend at every opportunity.
