Augusta, Georgia

Edit
Augusta, GA

Augusta is a consolidated city in the U.S. state of Georgia. Augusta is the second largest city in Georgia and the second-largest metro area in the state, as well as the 113th largest city in the U.S. Internationally, Augusta is best known for hosting The Masters golf tournament each spring, for being the hometown of funk singer James Brown, and for being the home of Fort Gordon, the U.S. Cyber Center of Excellence.

Augusta in The Guns of the South[]

Augusta was home to a gunpowder production plant run by Colonel George W. Rains. At the order of General Robert E. Lee, Rains and Captain Robert Finney went to work in 1865 to reverse-engineer the marvelous, mysterious AK-47. A few hand-made samples they provided in 1866 gave Lee hope that the Confederacy could begin mass production in 1867 and free itself from dependence on the sinister Rivington Men.

Augusta in Southern Victory[]

Augusta was a city in Confederate state of Georgia. Scipio fled to Augusta after the Great War. He resided in the Terry with his family, and worked at the Huntsman's Lodge, until he and his wife, Bathsheba and his daughter, Antoinette were arrested by the Freedom Party, and shipped to their deaths in Camp Determination.

Scipio's boss at the Huntsman's Lodge, Jerry Dover, also had his family in Augusta. He returned there after the end of the Second Great War.

Early in the Second Great War, Negro men and women began working in war plants. They would line up in an area at the edge of the Terry and be bused to the factories. One day, Scipio was walking past on his way to the Huntsman's Lodge when an auto bomb exploded setting four buses on fire. The force of the explosion sent Scipio tumbling but he was protected from bomb fragments by the buses since the motorcar was on the other side. He rendered first aid until ambulances and firetrucks arrive. An attendant sent him on his way but there was a second explosion just as he reached the Huntsman's Lodge. He realized there had been a second auto bomb with a timer set to go off a little later to kill responders to the first blast.[1]

President Woodrow Wilson spent much of his childhood in Augusta. So did Scipio's son, Cassius Madison, the man who killed Jake Featherston.
