The included documents provide a firsthand account of the issues confronting Georgia in the aftermath of the Civil War and Reconstruction. "Biographical Sketch of Linton Stephens" serves as a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the political and social dynamics of the 19th-century South.
