Hi everybody. Im from Cleburne County Al, 26 years old, and i work in construction. shout out to the late, great George Jones! alright i got that out of the way,down to business. Ive always had a passion for history, especially historical places and artifacts and i assume thats why we are all here. Ive been on an adventure lately following as much of the Atlanta campaign as time allows me so yes i had to trade my ol' horse in for a nissan because he couldnt run 70 mph on interstate highways so the experience of riding towards Kennesaw in full gallop with guns-a-blazin was shot down by Georgia PD. But seriously, my last adventure led me to a beautiful town we know as Newnan Ga. i Carefully read all the historical info signs and maps while walking the trails as i always do. My favorite part of visiting these battle fields is when i learn the facts and locations of the events then realizing "wow, im standing where it all happened " I have became addicted to that cold chill, my friends. but visiting Browns Mill was so different. i usually try to act like an intelligent history buff when someone tags along. but not in Newnan. i had read about the confederate hospitals while there. im not saying a higher power was involved but something came over me that ill never forget. ive never been so touched like that. after all the tragedies of war and horror ive researched , how did this one location affect me? i was so desperate to know more on this subject i googled the local court house phone # almost begging for information on events there. Crazy right?? What is so significant about this place that ive got to go back. Ive had so many dreams about the place and its hospitals since that day. i can hardly find any info about this except for one pic. Something else that unnerves me is that i also have dreams of talking to the nurseses and with living relatives of the nurses that witnessed the horror. its so strange. its like i personally knew them and i need some kind of closure. my research has been non stop since then. i left work yesterday headed to books a million then grabbed as many civil war books i could find and after 5 hrs i was asleep, face down on a book with old maps scattered everywhere. i was asked to leave immediately after i was spotted asleep . So my fellow folks if you have any info about these hospitals please let me know. and i really would like to know the exact location where buildings stood at browns mill. one more thing guys, does anybody know if a hospital stood on browns mill battle field? if so please send me a map as accurate as possible before saturday. Again it sounds crazy but i feel the need to go back as if i left something there. all information will help me out. Sorry for the long story but ive researched so much trying to find where these structures stood and these nurses from 1864 and turned up with nothing. Thanks guys. I swear im not insane and saying its supernatural. With yalls help and research ill investigate Browns Mill battlefield from daylight til dark this satuday and keep everybody updated. again thanks
