Alexander Stephens

[Liberty and Secession]

Howdy folks-

I was at the Georgia Capitol this morning and got to meet Governor Kemp. While I was there, I snapped this photo of Alexander Stephens.

Years ago, my parents and I took a trip to Atlanta and visited the state capitol. I remember passing by the portraits of Georgia governors and staring in awe at the portrait of Lee - "The Man Himself," as we call him.

I snapped some other pics of Howell Cobb, 40th Governor of Georgia, briefly head of the Confederate government, and then general in the rebel army. If it had t been for the war, he'd more than likely have been President, but now most folks have very little idea who the heck he was.

Charles Jenkins- I think father of Micah and John Jenkins, two young Confederate officers. Micah was killed, John survived.

It was chaos- it was refugee day, so there were hundreds if not thousands of folks there like ants, so I couldn't just wander around staring at stuff like I really would have liked.
