‎THE COUNTRYMAN. BY J. A. TURNER. VOL. III. NOS. 2 7 9 10 12. FIVE ISSUES: MONDAY OCTOBER 6 1862 - MONDAY DECEMBER 15 1862‎

‎Turnwold Putnam County Ga. 1862. Each issue a folio sheet folded to 8 pp. Each page 9-1/4" x12." Each number printed in three columns per page. No. 12 with a persistent corner chip and occasional small loss. Light foxing. Very Good. EACH ISSUE $250 OR THE ENTIRE RUN FOR $1000<br /> <br /> Crandall does not record Numbers 4 and 5; but AAS which says The Countryman was "suspended intermittently" evidently owns them. Its first printing was March 18 1862. The articles cover an array of subjects including of course much on the War: <br /> This interesting Confederate weekly was printed at Turnwold Turner's Putnam County plantation probably the only wartime newspaper so printed. "Joel Chandler Harris was an apprentice for Joseph Addison Turner. In 1862 Turner decided to produce a newspaper from his home at Turnwold Plantation. In fact in a more-than-semi-autobiographical book Harris wrote called On the Plantation he explains that the printing office for The Countryman was established 'in an outhouse.'. . . As was the typical arrangement for the time Harris worked for Turner in exchange for clothing and boarding at the Turnwold Plantation for the four plus years he apprenticed there. As a printer's devil Harris was responsible for setting and inking the type for the paper on the hand-press individually placing the letters so they were spaced appropriately for printing" "Joel Chandler Harris and The Wren's Nest" December 3 2020 Blog site of American Writers Museum accessed May 01 2026. <br /> Crandall 5152.

‎The Art & Life of Georgia O'Keeffe.‎

‎New York::: Crown 1985. Third Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine copy with two bumped corners in a Near Fine dust jacket.

Georgia O'Keeffe's career has spanned much of the history of modern art in America. Here are more than a hundred paintings many rarely exhibited or reproduced photographs of O'Keeffe at various stages of her life and of the landscapes that inspired her and a text richly documented with letters and interviews. This material combined with Jan Castro's insightful criticism reveals O'Keeffe's legacy as an artist and the force of her intriguing personality. Crown,, unknown‎

‎[Georgia – Land Contracts – Indian Removal] Barber, William; Gann, John; Kennon, Elizabeth; Rake, Gilbert‎

‎Three Contracts Selling Plots of Land in Early Cobb County Georgia Following the Indian Removal Act‎

‎Clarke Cobb and Harris Counties Georgia 1836. Three documents. One four-page document measuring 5 x 8 ¾ inches likely previously a single sheet; water stained with some tearing at folds very good. One double-sided document measuring 8 x 10 inches; water stained and folded with large tears at folds possibly with part missing good. One single-sided document measuring 7 ¾ x 12 ¾ inches. Water stained and folded with large tears at folds much damage to margins good. Overall good. Three legal documents in which William Barber buys and sells plots of land shortly following the establishment of Cobb County. In 1834 and 1835 Barber buys plots from John Gann and Elizabeth Kennon for $100 each and in 1836 sells land to Gilbert Rake for $500. Gann is possibly the plantation owner Cobb County pioneer and State Senator. <br /> <br /> These land contracts date to a time at which a small number of Cherokee—whose territory included present-day Cobb County—had voluntarily left the area following the Indian Removal Act of 1830 while a majority had not done so. The Indian Removal Act required Indigenous people east of the Mississippi River to cede their land to Euro-Americans and move west of it to so-called Indian Territory now Oklahoma. In 1835 the US government met with a group of Cherokee claiming to represent the tribe in New Echota Georgia and signed a removal treaty. When the majority of the tribe viewing the treaty as illegitimate refused to move voluntarily the US government sent the military to intervene.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Cobb County and land dealings between its early Euro-American residents during the removal of its Indigenous population. unknown‎

Very Good.<br /> <br /> From 1805 through 1832 Georgia used a lottery system to distribute land taken from the Cherokee and Creek Indians. The Georgia Gold Rush began in 1829 and continued through the early 1840s. Separate Gold Lotteries in 1832 and 1833 divided lots into 40 acres and distributed them. The Georgia Gold Rush was the second significant gold rush in the United States and was particularly significant in the county seat of Dahlonega Lumpkin County where it began soon spreading through the North Georgia Mountains. Due to the significant amount of mined gold Congress established the Dahlonega Mint in 1838. By the early 1840s gold became less plentiful and many miners migrated to California for the California Gold Rush.
