This collection of fifty-nine primary documents presents multiple
viewpoints on more than four centuries of growth, conflict, and
change in Georgia. The selections range from a captive's account of
a 1597 Indian revolt against Spanish missionaries on the Georgia
coast to an impassioned debate in 1992 between county commissioners
and environmental activists over a proposed hazardous waste
facility in Taylor County. Drawn from such sources as government
records, newspapers, oral histories, personal diaries, and letters,
the documents give a voice to the concerns and experiences of men
and women representing the diverse races, ethnic groups, and
classes that, over time, have contributed to the state's history.
"Cornerstones of Georgia History" is especially suited for
classroom use, but it provides any concerned citizen of the state
with a historical basis on which to form relevant and independent
opinions about Georgia's present-day challenges.
