A comparative study of the leadership of two Confederate governors, John Milton of Florida and Joseph E. Brown of Georgia. It examines their relations with the Confederate government as well as relations between the two governors and their respective states.

As governors of adjacent it gives a glimpse of the wartime relationships between these respective states. It compares the approaches in each of the state governments.
