Memorial drive for General Gordon in Atlanta urged
General Clement A Evans calls for rapid formation of a central Atlanta committee to raise a $50,000 to $60,000 fund for a fitting Gordon memorial. A national call by Stephen D Lee to Confederate Veterans will mobilize 1,800 camps, with Daughters of the Confederacy and veterans cooperating. Also recounted is a curious wager in Atlanta about proving the impossibility of striking a full force blow without malice, plus several social notices of visitors staying at local hotels.
