Written by Charles C. Jones, Jr., the 19th century's foremost
historian of Georgia and former mayor of Savannah, The Dead Towns
of Georgia is an insightful look into the history of Georgia
through a detailed examination of towns that flourished and then
faded away. With specific emphasis on the colonial period, the work
explores the role Georgia's settlers played in conflicts with
Spanish and British colonial powers, as well as the economic and
social factors that caused these towns to thrive, but ultimately
not to survive. Specific focus is given to the towns of Old
Ebenezer (1733) on the Savannah River, Frederica (1735) on St.
Simon's Island, Abercorn (1733) on a tributary of the Savannah,
Sunbury (1758) on the Medway River, and Hardwick (1755) on the
Ogeechee River, but the communities of Petersburg, Jacksonborough,
and Francisville, among others, are also mentioned. With extensive
citations and footnotes, as well as maps of several of the
communities, this is a valuable resource to anyone interested in
the history of the South or in the development and dissolution of
towns what makes a town survive and thrive, or what makes people
move on elsewhere.
