Book Synopsis Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia by : Ernest C. Hynds
Download or read book Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia written by Ernest C. Hynds. This book was released on 2009-08-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1974, Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia is a chronicle of sixty years of change in Clarke County and the city of Athens. In 1801, Clarke County, newly created from Jackson County, was virtually all Georgia farmland, and Athens was a portion of land set aside for the establishment of a state university. In those first years of the century, the university began with thirty or forty students. They received instruction from Josiah Meigs--president and faculty of the university--in a twenty-by-twenty-foot log cabin. By 1846, the population of the county was over four thousand, and the area prospered. Cotton mills dotted the banks of the Oconee River, the Georgia Railroad connected Athens with Augusta, numerous schools and churches had been established, and newspapers, banks, and small businesses were all part of the Athens scene. Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia is rich with detail. This historical narrative recalls not only the growth of industry, government, and education within Clarke County, but also contains many anecdotes of the early people who lived there. The chronology of dates and events and the comprehensive listing of public officials, professional men, planters, and businessmen found in the appendixes of Antebellum Athens and Clarke County, Georgia add to the value of this work of local history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clarke County, Ga: And the City of Athens This hand-book of Clarke county, Georgia, and the city of Athens, is prepared with three distinct objects in view: First. To place on record the main facts of the history, development, and present status of the county and all its interests. Second. To direct the attention of visitors and settlers to the manifest advantages which the county affords for capital and residence. Third. To indicate to other counties, by example, the means of making known in complete and permanent form their several advantages. The statements of the book have been verified from the best sources of information, and are made without exaggeration. The maps are reliable, based upon actual surveys made by J. W. Barnett, C. E., the present city engineer of Athens, Capt. W. W. Thomas, C. E., and by the author in his capacity as county surveyor. The publication is made under the sanction of the county and city authorities, and with the valuable aid of the official records. The author acknowledges his indebtedness to the county and city officers for the courteous assistance rendered, and to Dr. H. C. White, Prof. David C. Barrow, Jr., and Dr. S. C. Benedict for special contributions published under their names.
