The Battle of Ruff's Mill is a report that pieces together fascinating details of the battle that have remained completely forgotten until 2022. The LAMAR Institute conducted exhaustive research during the pandemic, employing all manner of technologies including ground-penetrating radar, controlled metal detector surveys, unit tests, portable X-Ray Fluorescence analysis, architectural analysis of historic structures, archival research, laboratory analysis, and human remains discovery dogs. Beyond the military campaign itself, the report goes in-depth into life in Cobb County in the 1860s. This report includes perspectives of women, children, African Americans (both enslaved and freed), and everyday civilians affected by the Civil War. Numerous maps, diaries, photographs, letters, and aerials supplement the narrative and make this report a valuable research tool for future use.
