New History of Cherokee County Available in November
The Cherokee County Historical Society will be releasing the newest history book about Cherokee County. Called Cherokee County, Georgia: A History, it will chronicle the county’s past from the earliest record of civilization to present times. Authored by local writer and Cherokee County native Rebecca Johnston, the book is the first comprehensive history of the county published since 1932. The book will take readers from the times of the Native Americans to the Civil War and the Great Depression, through the years leading up to World War II and up to modern day. The history tells of events and people who have shaped Cherokee County and allows the reader a deeper understanding of the complexity and drama of the county’s past. Rebecca Johnston, best known as a columnist for the “Cherokee Tribune” newspaper, brings decades of experience writing about Cherokee County and her deep love of the community and its history to the new book. Published by the Cherokee County Historical Society, the 224 page hardcover book will contain over 200 rare photographs, maps and documents from the society’s archives. This book is a must for everyone, old-timer and newcomer alike, who is proud to call Cherokee County home.
Only 2,000 copies will be ordered for the first edition, so preorders are encouraged. The book is available for presale online at www.rockbarn.org or by calling 770.345.3288. The price is $38 and a discount is available for Historical Society members. The book will be printed by Yawn’s Publishing and is funded by a grant from the Joe E. Johnston Foundation. -
