Synopsis:
In 1864 approximately 600 cotton mill employees from both Roswell and Sweetwater, Georgia were arrested and deported under the authority of General William T. Sherman on charges of treason. The 600 arrested included men, women, and children. For years, the fate of those affected had remained an unsolved mystery...until now. While employed as a Roswell Police Officer, Michael Hitt personally investigated the incident and found the answers. Join Michael as he uncovers the mystery.
