Heritage Sandy Springs Civil War Lecture Series - "What the Yankee Did to Us"

Historian Steve Davis takes a nearly street-by-street inventory of
Civil War Atlanta and explains what was destroyed by the Union Army, what was
destroyed by the Confederate Army and what was destroyed as a result of looting
or rioting in this well-balanced lecture.

 Steve Davis attended Emory University, and studied under the renowned
Civil War historian Bell Wiley. After a Master’s degree in American history
from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he taught high school,
then earned his Ph.D. at Emory, where he concentrated on Civil War in Southern
literature. He presently serves as Medical Relations Director for MAG Mutual
Insurance Company in Atlanta. Steve is the author of a book on the Atlanta
Campaign, Atlanta Will Fall: Sherman, Joe Johnston and the Heavy Yankee
Battalions (2001). He served as Book Review Editor for Blue and Gray Magazine
from 1994 to 2005, and is the author of more than a hundred articles in such
scholarly and popular publications as Civil War Times Illustrated and the
Georgia Historical Quarterly. His new book, What the Yankees Did to Us:
Sherman’s Bombardment and Wrecking of Atlanta, is published by Mercer
University Press.
