As you know, the Federals prosecuted warfare against Southern civilians in Alabama as well. The exploits of Gen. Turchinoff in Athens are well known. I have Gen. Beatty's memoirs, where he discusses briefly participating in his court-martial. Also, well known are the exploits of Gen. Wilson, an understudy of Sherman, whose destruction of Selma and the industrial center of Alabama is comparable with the fates suffered by Meridian, Atlanta, and Columbia. Perhaps not as well known are Gen. Croxton's ransacking of Tuscaloosa and the treatment of civilians in N. Alabama after Gen. Mitchel's occupation and throughout the rest of the war. Some towns in N. Alabama were burned, including Guntersville, and there is an account of the devastated country by a veteran of Gen. Hood's army as it marched to Tuscumbia in late 1864. Maj. Milus Johnston also provides good descriptions in his memoirs of the suffering of the people in N. Alabama at the hands of the Federals.
