Hello,
I am a new member & I was hoping someone might be able to answer this.
Does anyone know of an art print depicting the Battle of New Hope Church in Paulding County, GA?
My Gr. Gr. Grandfather was a member of the 40th Georgia, Company A, Paulding County Volunteers, and although he died in 1862 in Knoxville, some of his fellow soldiers were in the Battle at New Hope Church in Paulding County, GA.
Today, I visited the site & it hit me like a lightning bolt when I realized that men from the 40th GA, Co A & F defended their positions "in the cemetery". Unlike Baker & Clayton's men, who were able to build earth-works, Stovall's men used cemetery headstones as cover.
The GA 40th, Co A & F was comprised of men from Paulding County, GA & they were defending their County from an invading army, while standing atop the graves of their ancestors & forefathers.
Think about that for a moment ...
Does any member of this site know of an art depiction of the scene I just described?
I'd loved to have a framed print if anyone knows of one.
Thank you very much in advance.
