Georgia's Ghostly Getaways
Georgia's Ghostly Getaways 3rd edition [Georgia's Ghostly Getaways_55518534] will release tomorrow. It has been a work in progress for many years and involves many trips to Georgia. Each time I visit I learn something new.
Some of the most interesting sites involve Native Americans like New Echota. Did you know the Cherokees had a form of government much like the US? The Supreme Court ruled in their favor but President Jackson defied that ruling and sent them on the Trail of Tears? Did you know that Major Ridge who signed the Treaty of New Echota predicted correctly right after he signed, "I have just signed my death warrant."
You can learn about these places with their history and ghostly legends in this book.

Here's a tiny excerpt about a tiny town I bet you never heard about. It is the home of Brer Rabbit and Alice Walker among other things and has some interesting stories. This is about an ancient mound called Rock Eagle:
Little is known about the origin of two other intriguing creations in the area. The giant Rock Eagle Effigy is a stone mound or tumulus in the shape of a bird with outstretched wings. The wing span is 120 feet. The body stands about ten feet high. Native Americans in the area when the settlers arrived stated they didn’t know who built the mound. It was there when their ancestors arrived. Scientists believe it to be built by a mound-building culture about 3000 BC, which would make it older than the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
