Miles provides a compelling compilation of reports regarding Civil War specters in North Georgia, effectively weaving historical events like Sherman’s march with accounts of paranormal activity. While the focus on specific figures like General James Longstreet adds intrigue, the book may not suit readers seeking rigorous academic historiography or those skeptical of spiritualist claims.
