Synopsis

This account of Georgia's oldest "lost" towns spans the years following the first settlement on the Colony's coast to the advent of the railroad in the western part of the state. It contains valuable historical data on the events leading to the establishment and eventual decline of communities which in their day were important strongholds ia a region which still belonged for the most part to one of several Indian nations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.
