NEW! "PLAIN FOLK'S FIGHT - THE CIVIL WAR & RECONSTRUCTION IN PINEY WOODS GEORGIA" by Mark V. Wetherington. You will like this one, too. So much detail about individuals and Civil War units and how "plain folk" fit into the arena of the pre and post-war South . A must have, for sure. Truly a great piece of research into lives of people like Lucius Williams, Woodson Willcox, etc. Go to Amazon.com for details.

The City of Jacksonville and citizens interested in its rich history are making efforts to establish a History Center or Pavilion in the town so that travelers on US Highway 441 may stop and read plaques concerning these interesting events and the people who had a part in making these rich events of history. A modified plan now allows visitors to read these signs all over town.
More to come. If you know of items of interest about Old Jacksonville please let me know.
