This book provides part of the story about the Park Family of Georgia and certain events that happens to them during the War of the Federal Aggression. Most people are taught in school to call it The War Between the States (February 1861 to May 1865). I have always been told in my family that it was not a civil war, since a civil war is a war within a state, between people residing in that state. The War Between the States comprised individual states declaring for Northern or Southern causes and loyalties. During this time, there was a higher degree of loyalty to ones state, much more than to the new United States. How can I share the story of the Park family and make it as exciting and interesting as it truly is? Certain family stories are based on the papers of Anita Pressley, a great-great-granddaughter of Joseph Park, one of the three brothers who moved to Georgia. Her papers include notes from family Bibles, oral accounts from descendants still residing in Greene County in the early 1920s and 1930s and other relatives living throughout Georgia.
