PREFACE
1248111
Georgia's history has heretofore existed, at least for the reading publie, only in detached fragments, or in meager chronological outlines. This statement is not intended to convey any disparagement. The his- tories written by MeCall, Stevens, and Jones, are works of surpassing value and, for the periods covered, are exhaustive of detail. But these histories deal only with the State's Colonial and Revolutionary epochs. Isaae W. Avery has made a luminous contribution to the history of the Civil war, dealing, however, principally with political events connected with the picturesque personality of Georgia's war governor. Lawton B. Evans has written a splendid epitome of the state's political history, while U. B. Phillips, of the University of Michigan, and R. P. Brooks, of the University of Georgia, have each treated the subject with great ability from economie and sociological points of view. Gen. Clement A. Evans, and Prof. Joseph T. Derry, have each discussed the subjeet in its military aspects. The necessity for a work, therefore, weaving together in one continuous narrative the complete history of Georgia has long been felt. It was the purpose of Col. Charles C. Jones, Jr., the state's greatest historian, to bring his masterful work down to the pres- ent time, but ere his stupendous task was half finished, death sheathed his shining pen forever.
The present work is not designed to complete the unfinished task of Colonel Jones. That glorious Georgian will always oceupy a niche in the Temple of Fame peculiarly his own. This work is intended only as a sineere and earnest contribution to the state's political annals, to bridge the gaps which have heretofore existed, and to connect the more or less familiar story of Georgia's remote historie past with the narrative of recent happenings. It is to be regretted that important records no longer exist on which to base an accurate account of the period immediately subsequent to the Revolution. This is due to the fact that when Georgia was overrun by the British, some of her most precious doenments suffered destruction. The loss is an irreparable one, sinee the period in question was a period of beginnings, marked by organic changes. Original sources of information are also laeking for other periods ; all of which emphasizes how important it is for the state to create a Department of Archives, in which to safeguard its immortal things. The necessity for provid- ing quarters in which to house current volumes often relegates the old records to dark nooks and corners, where the agencies of decay make sad havoe of priceless values. New England's dearest care for genera- tions has been her sacred memorials. Georgia's history is not one whit less glorious.

PREFACE.
In the nature of things, there are many defects and omissions in this work which the author herewith presents to the public, but the narrative of events, so far as it proceeds, is based upon documentary evidence pre- served in the state's existing records. These include the Executive Min- utes, kept in the governor's office, House and Senate Journals, Acts of the General Assembly, Letter Books, etc., in addition to which the news- paper files of Savannah, Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, and Atlanta have been carefully searched. The author wishes to record his especial indebtedness to the following writers on Georgia topics: Prof. U. B. Phillips, of the University of Michigan; Prof. R. P. Brooks, of the Uni- versity of Georgia ; Prof. L. B. Evans, superintendent of the Augusta public schools ; Prof. J. R. McCain, of Agnes Scott College; Prof. Joseph T. Derry, of the Department of Commerce and Labor of the State of Georgia : Mr. Charles Edgeworth Jones, of Augusta, and others, from all of whom substantial cooperation and help have been received in the preparation of these pages, and to each of whom the author makes grate- ful acknowledgment in the very forefront of this work.
