I had a note from Rena Cobb, author of "A History of Marion County, Georgia, Motherland of Many." She tells me that she has only a few copies of her book remaining. This is a great reference piece and a quality book. I use mine almost daily. It would make a wonderful Christmas gift for those of us who research Marion county. It has an excellent index which uses first names in addition to the surname. Here is the Table of Contents: (736 pages) I. EARLY HISTORY Georgia History in Brief First Georgians, the Indians County Seats, Districts, and Officials Marion County Courthouse II. TRANSPORTATION Trails & Roads-Railroads III.
