http://www.rootsweb.com/~gajones/hawkins.htm Diane Wilcox who has written a book on Ft. Hawkins and Frontier Georgia has given us permission to put much of her book on-line. I think you'll find it fascinating....not only about the Fort itself, but because she indentified all the people mentioned in Benjamin Hawkins writings, and all those who lived at the Fort. One the sections that I especially enjoyed was her geographical section explaining the naming of the early geographical features through early Georgia....not just around Fort Hawkins. It seems to me that she covers ALL the Forts, early counties, rivers, etc. The origin of the names is fascinating. Their upcoming special events are: Frontier Day on September 15th, 2001 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. featuring free fort tours and an essay contest "The People of Fort Hawkins," and the Fort Hawkins Frontier Festival on April 7th, 2001.
