About this ebook

Georgia’s boundaries are more than mere lines on a map. They reflect centuries of wars and treaties, political maneuvering and litigation, heroic actions and human error. From the arrival of Europeans in the New World through legislative resolutions in 2008, this book recounts the landmarks, events and people that have shaped present-day Georgia.

    Boundary disputes exist between many states, and some of them are long-standing. Georgia's boundaries with North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee are all included in this volume. The boundaries with the Mississippi Territory before Alabama was formed and with parts of the current United States owned by countries such as France and Spain in the colonial period are treated as well. Since the book was written, Georgia tried to reassert a claim to a strip about one mile wide which would give them access to the Tennessee River. So far the land remains part of Tennessee. While it was an interesting read, it lacks the depth of treatment some volumes of this nature provide.The volume appeals more to the layman than the historian or geographer.
