Will the women of LaGrange run or fight?</strong> <p>Based on the true story of the <strong>Nancy Hart Rifles</strong>, <strong>The Cotillion Brigade</strong> is a sweeping epic of the Civil War's ravages on family and love, the resilient bonds of sisterhood amid devastation, and the miracle of reconciliation between bitter enemies.</p> <p><strong>"Gone With The Wind meets A League Of Their Own."</strong></p> <p>1856. Sixteen-year-old <strong>Nannie Colquitt Hill</strong> makes her debut in the antebellum society of the Chattahoochee River plantations.

As the war churns to a bloody climax, he is ordered to drive a burning stake deep into the heart of the Confederacy.</p> <p>Yet one Georgia town—which by mocking coincidence bears Hugh's last name—stands defiant in his path.</p> <p><strong>Read the remarkable story of the Southern women who formed America's most famous female militia and the Union officer whose life they changed forever.</strong></p>.
