Brumby; chartered at the session of the General Assembly in the winter of 1851-1852, and modeled after the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. During the war between the states Camp McDonald was established, including the Georgia Military Institute grounds and extending to Big Shanty (now called Kennsaw). Here recruits for the Confederate army were drilled by the cadets and new regiments organized. During the campaign from Dalton to the sea in 1864 the Georgia Military Institute cadets served with great credit. Camp McDonald was destroyed by Sherman and the school was never revived.-Joseph Tyrone Derry."
