During the Civil War, Big Shanty served as
home to the largest military camp in Georgia. Thousands of young men
learned the art of war at Camp McDonald before fighting on distant
battlefields. Civil War historian Michael Shaffer will provide insights on this unique
installation on Tuesday, August 5, 6:30 p.m. at the Acworth Bookstore.
