Synopsis

Frontier boldness meets political clash in early Georgia. A determined settler, Elijah Clarke, leads a bold venture into Indian lands and helps spark a provisional republic on the edge of the new nation. This book examines how land hunger, treaty disputes, and local power shaped a dramatic standoff with state authorities.

Across a landscape of forts and contested claims, Clarke builds a shadow government, while Georgia’s governor and federal authorities respond with pressure and troops. The narrative tracks the uneasy balance between frontier ambition and the rule of law, showing how loyalties shifted as events unfolded.




  • How Clarke and his followers moved into disputed lands and why

  • How a provisional government and military outposts took shape

  • How state authority and federal policy collided on the frontier



Ideal for readers of early American frontier history.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
