Week 32 (November 24th - November 30th)
Week 32 (November 24th - November 30th) 37 Weeks
In late November, the Yankee army moves through Georgia, ransacking for supplies. Near Sandersville, 19-year-old Imogene Hoyle’s family hides jewelry, money, and clothes outside their home. Foraging parties seize food and livestock on the move; Sherman knows the army will famish if they linger in one place. With them, go thousands of slaves. Locals “fear the negroes” more than anything else.
