Before it was Fort Moore, it was Fort Benning, or "Fort Beginning" to the hundreds of thousands of Army veterans who started their military careers here during the first 100 years of its existence.

Fort Benning Stories, Lies and Legends is not a history book but a motley collection of haunting and humorous stories about history and pioneers and Very Important People and ghosts - literal and metaphorical ghosts. It is a look at seamier and simpler times, sides of Fort Benning history that maybe shouldn't make us laugh and probably shouldn't warm our hearts, but somehow, viewed from a safe distance, in the comfort of contemporary culture, they do. Collectively, these stories help us appreciate the evolution of the south's most colorful Army installation.

The author seeks to record the stories and anecdotes about life on Fort Benning that shouldn't be lost or forgotten as Fort Benning transitions to Fort Moore, and she shares fascinating information about earlier populations within this region of the Chattahoochee Valley that preceded the development and growth of an Army training camp in the early part of the twentieth century.

This book includes stories the author collected over more than two decades as she lived and worked on Fort Benning as a reporter and the wife of a career soldier. She investigates the merits of various legends that have grown around the historic post infrastructure and shares opinions and insights about the evolution of traditional Army cultures and courtesies.
