Darien and McIntosh County

More about the book

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, McIntosh County, Georgia, emerged as a vibrant hub of activity, particularly through its county seat, Darien. Despite a small population of under 2,000, Darien became a significant player in the timber industry, notably as the top exporter of yellow pitch pine. This period highlights the community's economic vitality and its role in the broader southern coastal development. The book explores the historical significance and the dynamic life of this seemingly modest town during a transformative era.
