Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Times of William Harris Crawford, of Georgia: An Address Delivered by Charles N. West, A. M., Before the Georgia Historical Society, at Savannah, Ga;, May 2, 1892 Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Society: About sixty years ago, could you have strolled into the little court-room in the village of Lexington, near our Georgian Athens, you would have seen presiding as judge a very tall and strongly built man of somewhat more than middle age, but who, upon closer scrutiny, had the appearance of one who had grown older than his actual years. Observing him only very slightly, you would have said to yourself that this judge was apparently far above his bar of lawyers and his court-room company, and, had you known nothing of his history, you would have marveled how it had happened to him in life that such a man as he was should be there upon that bench. A large, long head, with bold brow, from beneath which a pair of shrewd, kindly gray eyes looked straight at you, - seemingly straight through you - a large nose, firm compressed lips - the firmest lips you ever saw - full round chin, and strong jaw, made up a face too strong and commanding, but for that kindly expression in those bluish gray eyes. And those eyes! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Few places in the United States feel the impact of courthouse disasters like the state of Georgia. Over its history, 75 of the state's counties have suffered 109 events resulting in the loss or severe damage of their courthouse or court offices. This book documents those destructive events, including the date, time, circumstance, and impact on records. Each county narrative is supported by historical accounts from witnesses, newspapers, and legal documents. Maps show the geographic extent of major courthouse fires. Record losses are described in general terms, helping researchers understand which events are most likely to affect their work.
