Georgia’s historian gathers the records of towns that flourished and died in the colony’s early days: Old and New Ebenezer of the Salzburgers, Oglethorpe’s fortified Frederica, Abercorn, the port of Sunbury, Hardwick, Petersburg and others, explaining how swamp fevers, Spanish threats and politics doomed them.

An evocative local history for anyone interested in colonial Georgia and lost places. Download the free EPUB.
