Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An archeologist reveals the mysterious world that disappeared under North Georgia’s man-made lakes in this fascinating history. North Georgia has more than forty lakes, and not one is natural. The state’s controversial decision to dam the region’s rivers for power and water supply changed the landscape forever. Lost communities, forgotten crossroads, dissolving racetracks and even entire towns disappeared, with remnants occasionally peeking up from the depths during times of extreme drought. The creation of Lake Lanier displaced more than seven hundred families. During the construction of Lake Chatuge, busloads of schoolboys were brought in to help disinter graves for the community’s cemetery relocation. Contractors clearing land for the development of Lake Hartwell met with seventy-eight-year-old Eliza Brock wielding a shotgun and warning the men off her property. Georgia historian and archeologist Lisa Russell dives into the history hidden beneath North Georgia’s lakes.

Download or read book Cities Towns and Communities of Georgia Between 1847 1962 written by and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By: Marion R. Hemperley, Pub. 1980, Reprinted 2022, 167 pages, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-153-1. This book is a MUST for anyone doing Georgia Research. This book by Deputy Surveyor General of the State of Georgia is a result of the many requests that the department has had throughout the years for information on the location of Georgia's long-ago dead towns. Such requests come from people finding the name of a town on a post mark, old letter, tax records, censuses and other official documents, seeking to know the location of that community. Mr. Hemperley found that, without a master list of the old as well as new towns in Georgia, these questions could not readily be answered. Georgia has one of the richest and most interesting, legacy of town names of any state in the Union. This book covers over 8,500 places and the county in which they were or are located in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Charles C. Jones, Jr., the 19th century's foremost historian of Georgia and former mayor of Savannah, The Dead Towns of Georgia is an insightful look into the history of Georgia through a detailed examination of towns that flourished and then faded away. With specific emphasis on the colonial period, the work explores the role Georgia's settlers played in conflicts with Spanish and British colonial powers, as well as the economic and social factors that caused these towns to thrive, but ultimately not to survive. Specific focus is given to the towns of Old Ebenezer (1733) on the Savannah River, Frederica (1735) on St. Simon's Island, Abercorn (1733) on a tributary of the Savannah, Sunbury (1758) on the Medway River, and Hardwick (1755) on the Ogeechee River, but the communities of Petersburg, Jacksonborough, and Francisville, among others, are also mentioned. With extensive citations and footnotes, as well as maps of several of the communities, this is a valuable resource to anyone interested in the history of the South or in the development and dissolution of towns'Ķwhat makes a town survive and thrive, or what makes people move on elsewhere.

Download or read book Vanished Towns Revisited written by Billy Powell and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since more than 500 towns have disappeared from the Georgia landscape over the past century, the book was written to reconstruct 14 ghost towns in Crawford County that no longer exist, most disappearing from Georgia maps. The book also focuses on Byron, Georgia, which, by virtue of Interstate Highway 75 passing through North Peach County during the late 1960s, transitioned from a sleepy little hamlet that grew up beside the railroad tracks, to a thriving, bustling city repositioned along the I-75 corridor. Left behind in its old business district are aging, vacant buildings which once were the hub of business activity and gathering places for local citizenry. As you read the book, not only will you visualize the materialization of towns that no longer exist, but you will enjoy humorous historical accounts such as the jilted bride who, on her wedding day, ripped off her wedding dress after learning her betrothed had just married someone else. You can visit the town where Margaret Mitchell conceptualized the plantation 'Tara' in her book, “Gone with Wind.” And the list goes on. “Vanished Towns Revisited” contains more than 200 photographs expressly selected to augment the narrative and to make past events and historic personages come alive on the printed page.
