From 1870 to 1920, McIntosh County, Georgia, was one of the most
energetic communities on the southern coast. Its county seat,
Darien, never had a population of more than 2,000 residents; yet,
little Darien was, for a considerable time, the leading exporter of
yellow pitch pine timber on the
Atlantic Coast. Burned to ashes during the Civil War, Darien
rose up and, with its timber booms and sawmills, took its place
among the leading towns of the "New South" of the late nineteenth
century. In this unique photographic retrospective of Darien and
McIntosh County, over 200 images evoke generations past of dynamic,
hard-working people. Pictured within these pages are timber barons,
sawmill workers, railroad builders, and shrimp fishermen. They are
depicted among views of the buildings and structures associated
with an era that was the most active in the recorded history of the
community, which dates back to the earliest days of the Georgia
colony in 1736.
