    3. Steve, >> Would you care to recommend any books or maps which show in detail these various pre-railroad trails? << The only pre-railroad Southern map that I am aware of which gives the locations of some of the Indian trails, was done in the early 1930s. However, it is a large map of the entire Eastern U.S. None of the counties, and only a few of the cities are shown on the map. If some of you are aware of other maps of the South which show the major Indian trails, I would be glad to know where they can be located. For now, it will entail transposing the Georgia portion of the 1930s map to the same scale map as one which shows more detail, to be able to ascertain the proximity of the trails to the towns and cities. As time allows, I may draw a map of Georgia which shows intricate details of where the Indian trails were. This will take considerable research of each of the trails, as there were a lot of them in Georgia. These were the primary ones: 1. The Augusta & St. Augustine Trail. 2. The Savannah & Jacksonville Trail. 3. The Pecatonica Trail. 4. The Lower Creek Trading Path. 5. The Macon & Montgomery Trail. 6. The Augusta & Cherokee Trail. 7. The Cisca & St. Augustine Trail. 8. The Augusta & Savannah Trail. 9. The Unicoi Turnpike. 10. The Old Trading Path of the South. William A.
