Event Details

Bartow Bushwackers and Scouts

In the final days of the Civil War, Bartow County endured an “Uncivil War” as splintered bands of bushwhackers terrorized local citizens. These renegades—neither Union nor Confederate—raided farms, stores, and families, stealing goods and holding people hostage. Their lawless acts forced patrols to restore order in a community already devastated by war
