FootNote
The new kid on the block, FootNote is known for digitizing historical
documents... many of which are genealogical gems. With naturalizations,
city directories, war records, newspapers, town records, etc... this new
kid is quickly being recognized as an alternative to Ancestry.
While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Pulaski County is not one of
the largest counties of the State, but it
takes just pride in the men and women it has
given to the world. Hawkinsville has furnished
Macon and Atlanta, as well as other cities,
such a noticeably large number of "leading
citizens" that outsiders are sometimes said to
wonder if there can be any good people left in
the county. As an outsider sojourning here for
the past seven years, I am in position to
testify that, instead of giving out all of her
"leading citizens," she kept her best at home.
Never have I known a higher type of citizenry,
a kindlier people, or a nobler strain of
native American stock.
The aid of the Federal Government in the long
and arduous task of writing this history is
hereby gratefully acknowledged, together with
our thanks to Mrs. Grace Watson, through whose
kindly offices this invaluable assistance was
secured, without which it would have been
impossible.
The people of the entire county, and, no
doubt, all who in the years to come have
occasion to read these pages, will feel a deep
sense of gratitude to the local chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, which
is publishing this history. Probably at no
time in the entire history of the county could
there have been found three women so well
qualified as exponents of Pulaski's
personality; charm, and culture as the editor,
Mrs. T. H. Bridges, and her associates, Mrs.
Leonard Atkinson and Miss Carolyn Jordan.
Together with these qualities is found an
indomitable initiative in the person of Mrs.
N. A. Jelks, Regent of the D. A. R. Chapter,
and prime mover in the publication of this
history. To these noble women Pulaski
Countians from now until the end of civilized
time will be indebted for the valuable records
herein contained.
