North Georgia History, School Days
Nothing says history like the shower of a waterfall—twisting and
turning, carving everything in its path. God’s low-pressure plumbing
system has been delivering pure spring water to the lower regions of
Georgia for longer than our history has been recorded. Spending time
looking at something this ancient tends to refresh
the soul and clear
the mind. These waters not only bring life, but also gold—another major
part of North Georgia history.
Jack Anthony gives us a glimpse of the Upper DeSoto Falls in the photograph gracing our cover. Jack has gotten himself in some pretty precarious spots to get pictures of the beautiful falls that dot North Georgia. In his book Waterfalls of North Georgia, Jack delivers not only beautiful pictures, but GPS coordinates and excellent directions to each site. You can find his book for sale through www.yahoolavista.com and at several shops around Dahlonega, including Cranberry Corners. See more waterfalls on pages 12-13.
The history lovers out there will be more excited than ever with this issue. Not a recycle of stories you’ve heard time and time again, but a fresh look at some old places and faces can be found within these pages. If you’re a newcomer, maybe these will stir your desire to learn more about what your new home used to be.
It may seem as though summer just started, but believe it or not, school is just around thecorner. Our popular School Days sub-feature provides interesting reading on many facets of school life. We present contributions from public school teachers, past students, private school educators, home schooling parents—as many points of view as there are options for education these days.
