Synopsis

This 137 page Paperback Edition of the earlier eBook contains many updates and over 60 photos, illustrations, and maps. The Curious Disappearance of Fort Buffington is written to explore information, some known and some hypothesized or speculated, surrounding one of the several lost Cherokee “Removal” forts, Fort Buffington. The fort is just one piece of a complex pattern of dots and lines that form a bigger picture. Fort Buffington is a haunting element of an entire, almost hidden or perhaps purposefully ignored, period of American history. Fort Buffington can be viewed as a symbol. Symbols capture our attention and pique our curiosities as they act to provide something we can see and perhaps touch about a subject otherwise lost or vaguely remembered. Symbols are links to our pasts and are objects of wonderment, and as many of us have experienced, lost things almost demand that they be found so there can be some kind of conclusion or resolution. While Fort Buffington is a symbol and artifact of this whole subject, interesting in and of itself, we invite you to use it as a starting point for a continuing adventure. Read, discover, make your own observations, and form your conclusions about Fort Buffington and the people connected to this whole period of American history. This paperback edition contains corrections , updates, and Appendices that discuss, among other things, the recent research and artifacts found during a survey undertaken to present evidence to Georgia Department of Transportation under the Section 106 portion of a highway improvement project which could threaten the possible site of Fort Buffington.
