He loved his family, friends, and the University of North Carolina Tar Heels. But his real pas- sion was Confederate history. He was George W. Wray Jr., well-known for his keen eye for detail, encyclopedic knowledge of weaponry, and penchant for making a bargain. Beginning at the age of twelve in 1948, Wray spent the next fifty-six years building a world-class collection of one thousand Confederate artifacts, including 184 longarms, virtually all known varieties of Confederate bayonets, seven rare Confederate artillery pieces, handguns, uniforms, headgear, flags, swords, knives, ammunition, and accoutrements. Along the way, he spent thousands of hours meticulously tracking down the original public through text, videos, and interactive exhibits, owners of attributed artifacts, building “womb to tomb” Turning Point is firmly rooted in artifacts and the stories biographies of their lives, complete with photographs and they tell—both individually and collectively. Perhaps more family histories. He filled up fourteen file boxes with arti- important still, the acquisition of the Wray Collection will cles, notes, and copies of all his research correspondence, greatly enhance our capacity to serve students, researchers, making his collection one of the best documented in the and collectors by providing an accessible and permanent ref- nation.

To perpetuate the Confederate memories con nected with the march of General Sherman from Atlanta to Savannah is the design of the following pages. To be guided in all that he relates by the genuine circumstances of the action has been the author s care. This sad chapter in the history of Georgia has been written only by those who made light of her afflictions, laughed at her calamities, gloated over her losses, and lauded her spoilers. A predatory expedition, inaugurated with full knowledge of her weakness, conceived in a spirit of wanton destruction, conducted in violation of the rules of civilized warfare, and compassed in the face of feeble resistance, has been mag nified into a grand military achievement wor thy of all admiration.

  • Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration
    National Park Service U.S Department of the Interior Washington Support Office: Cultural Resources, Partnerships and Science Interpretation, Education and Volunteers Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration Summary Report DEDICATION This report honors all those who suffered and died in this nation’s struggles for freedom and equality. It is also dedicated to our colleague, Tim Sinclair, who was taken from us too soon. Timothy D. Sinclair, Sr. (1974-2016) Chief of Interpretation Selma to Montgomery NHT Tuskegee Airmen NHS and Tuskegee Institute NHS You took us on a walk from Selma to Montgomery. To keep your vision and memory alive, “We’re still marching!” Silent sentinels stood watch for 22 hours to commemorate the 22 hours of combat that took place at Spotsylvania’s Bloody Angle. FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NMP Cover Graphic: Courtesy of Chris Barr FOREWORD The Civil War to Civil Rights Commemoration has been quite a journey. Thanks to all of you who helped make it a meaningful and memorable one for our country. We hope our efforts have helped Americans understand the connection between these two epic periods of time as a continuous march toward freedom and equality for all–a march that continues still today. Along the way, perhaps the National Park Service learned something about itself, as well. When we first began planning for this commemorative journey, there were several Civil War parks that had difficultly acknowledging slavery as the cause of the war. Both Civil War sites and civil rights sites questioned whether a combined “Civil War to Civil Rights” Commemoration would water down and weaken each.
