is there anywhere that i can find any info of what all transpired, with whom, everything i can read for free. About the meetings that were held at the Mcdow House on May 18th-19th 1864. Cass Co GA. Id like to read about anything that references this event. Except for the fact it happened, i cant find the details. I live about a block from this property and I once found a 3 ring bullet in my yard. not even metal detecting! I found it where water was running off the corner of the house. Mustve washed up. Theres a creek that runs beside old Mcdow farm. Georgia Historic Marker GHM 008-18.
