New Georgia Encyclopedia: Augustus Baldwin Longstreet (1790-1870) (1274 words)
Longstreet, however, only dabbled in fiction writing, just as he dabbled in many other careers, including roles as a lawyer, judge, state senator, newspaper editor, minister, political propagandist, and college president.
In 1821 Longstreet began a term in the Georgia General Assembly as a representative from Greene County.
Longstreet hoped that his book would not be forgotten, as his purpose in writing it was to preserve Georgia's social history.
New Georgia Encyclopedia: Helen Dortch Longstreet (1863-1962) (687 words)
Helen Dortch Longstreet, the second wife of General James Longstreet, is remembered for her unflagging work as a Confederate memorialist, Progressive reformer, and local librarian and postmistress.
She later described that first encounter with Longstreet in an unpublished essay, "Wooed to the Warrior's Tent," held in the Helen Dortch Longstreet Papers at the Atlanta History Center.
In 1957 Longstreet was admitted to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville for mental illness.
