Inspired by the success of Vanishing South Georgia, I have initiated a long-term project of books related to specific counties and localities within its boundaries. My first efforts to that end focus on Irwin County, a predominately agricultural area located near the geographic center of South Georgia. Irwin was one of the largest counties in the state in the first years of the 19th century; it later played host to the capture of Jefferson Davis and the bureaucrats of the Great Depression. Today, it stands at a great crossroads, sure of its history and confident of its future, and I hope that the images in this collection will inspire pride in its residents and admirers.
A signed and numbered hardcover version, in an edition of 25, is also available, for $50 postpaid. Contact me for more information.
drtrd, will there be anything about the early settlers in the book?
Thanks for all you do for the South!!
Other than photographs of a few headstones of early settlers, this book is strictly a photo essay. I wish I had the time to delve into that history and genealogy. Are you familiar with Folks Huxford’s Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia?
No Brian, but I will check it out.
I’m mostly interested in the Fulford families, of that area.
Thanks for the info.
Bravo!
Thanks, Terry! Appreciate your enthusiasm, as always!
This is so wonderful, Brian! When I grow up, I want to do the same things you are doing!
How can I obtain the book?
Thanks for your interest, Howell! You should be able to order it through the accompanying link. Let me know if you’re unable to…thanks again!
