Vanishing Irwin County
http://www.blurb.com/books/2289114
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.

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.
