I Remember Dahlonega Vol.4

Back

  Volume 4 of “I Remember Dahlonega; Stories about People and the History of Lumpkin County was published by Chestatee Publications in 1997.  The different sub-title reflects the inclusion of stories about interesting people who did not grow up locally but moved to Dahlonega later in life, such as such as Sgt. Louis Colombo, who received a Congressional  Medal  for his pioneer exploits in Antartica.  

 

  The book’s cover features R.D. Hogue, who donated gold from the Josephine Mine to gild the dome of the State Capitol and the steeple of North Georgia College.  Also included are accounts of the 1836 Lumpkin County courthouse, dredge boats on the Chestatee River, and the Tugboat “U.S.S.  Dahlonega.”  Contains 294 pages, 28 interview articles, 108 historic photographs, and index.
