DillardThis was purchased as a birthday gift; it is the 3rd copy of the book I have purchased. One for myself and 2 as gifts. It is a monster size book full of color plates and all sorts of information concerning the people involved in planning building operating and maintaining the Augusta GA Confederate Powderworks that occupied a large area near the Augusta Canal. I learned about the book during a Petersburg Boat tour on the canal. It is published by the University of South Carolina and well researched. This book is a treasure for anyone interested in history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
