Elegant guests celebrate the General’s 200th

It was an elegant group of guests, many from the Demosthenian Society and the Leoniadas Polk Memorial Society at the University of Georgia, who helped General Robert Toombs and friends celebrate his 200th birthday July 3. The day was marked with dramatic interpretations of the great man’s life and times, demonstrations of cannon fire by David Denard, and a display of historical colors. (Photo courtesy CRS, 2010)
