This pamphlet was once possibly owned by Alexander Smith Erwin (1843-1907). Smith, a veteran of the Confederate army and a prominent Athenian jurist, is remembered for advancing further than any other Confederate soldier during Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg. He joined Athens’ social and economic elite when he married into the prominent Cobb family. (Source: Oconeehillcemetery dot com).
