"The Act of 11 May 1803 established the general process by which the land lottery would operate. The law outlined the creation of three counties and thirteen districts: five districts in Baldwin County, three districts in Wayne County, and five districts in Wilkinson County. Each district was to be surveyed into lots, containing 202.5 acres each in Baldwin and Wilkinson counties and 490 acres each in Wayne County. In the end, 4580 land lots were surveyed. All square (or whole) lots, as well as all islands containing more than 100 acres, were included in the land lottery drawing. All fractions were held out and sold at public auction in 1806"--P. [i].

This book contains the admission record for the first 888 patients admitted to the Central State Hospital in Milledgeville, Georgia. The hospital, the state's first mental institution, was authorized in 1837 and opened to patients at the end of 1842. Each patient record begins with a list of basic facts, with their name, county of origin, age, marital status, and other facts depending on the particular patient. The introductory information is followed by a description of symptoms that led the patient to the hospital, along with possible causes of illness. Records end with dates of admission then those for elopement (escape), dismission, or death. The number by each individual is the sequential patient number given in early admission records.

Even before the 1805 Land Lottery drawing had begun, pressure was mounting for Georgia to gain control over the remaining land between the Oconee and Ocmulgee Rivers. Less than three months after the conclusion of the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, the United States purchased 2.2 million acres from the Creek Indians. The 1807 Land Lottery was structured almost identically to the 1805 Land Lottery, continuing the district and land lot survey system and repeating the use of a land lottery to distribute the land. The purpose of this book is to document the record of title transfer from the state of Georgia to an individual for each land lot distributed through the land lottery process in 1807.

Disappearing historic landmarks preserved for posterity... Tabby houses—slave cabins—doorways and cemeteries that recall the history of the early settlers. A story of the living past. Visible evidence of coastal culture. The Military Era and the Plantation Era—its story and heroes... Oglethorpe—the soldiers of Bloody Marsh—faithful Neptune... Along the arc of the Georgia coast there is a chain of sea islands. Of these, Ossabaw, Saint Catherine’s, Sapelo, Saint Simons, Sea Island, Jekyll, and Cumberland are best known as the Golden Isles. Early Days of Coastal Georgia, which was first published in 1955, presents some of their history, illustrated with vintage photos. Beautifully illustrated throughout with photographs by Orrin Sage Wightman.
