BURY ME WITH MY PEOPLE: The Arrests of Elizabeth Temms and the Roswell Mill Workers

To feed her family in the final years of the Civil War, Martha Harrison works at the woolen mill of the Roswell Manufacturing Company. There "Roswell Gray" cloth is made for Confederate Uniforms. Each day Martha prays Sherman, in his vow to "Make Georgia Howl," doesn't go through Roswell on his way to Atlanta. But he does. Four hundred women and their children are arrested at the mill and sent to the Louisville Military Prison hundreds of miles away. There Elizabeth Temms teaches Martha how to survive their living hell--and what real heroes look like.
