Southern rock legends Stillwater reunite after seven years for Perry show
BONAIRE, Ga. — The sound that once helped put middle Georgia on the Southern rock map is headed back to the stage, as Stillwater reunites after seven years away. Formed in Warner Robins in 1973, Stillwater came together as Southern rock was carving out a national spotlight. Members Mike Causey, Bobby Golden, Al Scarborough and Rob Walker, along with other bandmates, already knew one another from playing in other local groups. That hometown network eventually carried them to Capricorn Records in Macon, linking Stillwater to a Georgia music legacy that includes some of the genre’s biggest names.

Haunted Fort Benning: a new book explores the post's spookiest stories
How does an author who doesn’t believe in ghosts write a book about the haunted history of Fort Benning? Bridgett Sharp Siter ’s newest book, “ Haunted Fort Benning : Murder, Mystery and Mayhem on the South’s Most Colorful Army Post,” explores the area’s eerie past and retells stories about haunted porches, wandering spirits and murders that were never solved. Siter spoke to the Ledger-Enquirer about her time at Fort Benning, how she became a ghost storyteller who doesn’t believe in ghosts, and how all these stories made it into her book. For more than two decades, Siter worked at Fort Benning in the Morale, Wellness and Recreation (MWR) Department before moving to the Maneuver Capability Development Integration Directorate (M-CDID) in 2019. She started, however, as a part-time reporter at the Fort Benning Bayonet, and her editor tasked her with finding ghost stories for an October issue. She wasn’t thrilled. “I am a super skeptic,” she said. But, although she doesn’t necessarily believe in them all, she loves to tell stories. “I’m a storyteller who loves history,” Siter said. “I’m quick to say I’m not a historian.” Col. John Tate and the Kashita warriors Siter then stumbled onto Col. John

The Night Fight on the Chattahoochee: How Columbus Became the Site of What Many Call the Last Battle of the Civil War
A week after Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, the Civil War came to Columbus, Ga. On Easter Sunday, April 16, 1865, thousands of Union cavalrymen fought their way across a covered bridge over the Chattahoochee River in the dark, captured the city and, over the next two days, burned the factories, arsenal and navy yard that had made Columbus one of the Confederacy's most important industrial centers.
