This book is the most comprehensive study of the 16th century history of the South Atlantic Coast, ever published. The project began in early 2007 as an effort by a small group of Native American researchers to obtain a more accurate history of the South Atlantic Coast's indigenous peoples. It ended up in 2014, turning the history books upside down. The Spanish built at least 10 forts on the South Atlantic Coast in the 1560s and 1570s. The first governor of Florida, Pedro Menendez, wrote the King of Spain that the original location of St. Augustine was at 31 degrees latitude. That's St. Andrews Sound, GA. St. Augustine was moved to its current location the next year because of the large number of hostile Natives in Georgia. In 1564, French colonists probably did not build Fort Caroline on the St. Johns River in Florida, but in Georgia. There was a large French fort on an island near present day Knoxville, TN several decades before the English arrived. The rest is history.

Fort Caroline, the Search for America's Lost Heritage

This concise, but heavily illustrated book, takes the reader on a journey through time from 1200 Bc to 2016 Ad, so you will learn what is known about the region's past.There is very little said about Native Americans and Colonial Period in the state historic markers of North Georgia that is accurate. During the mid-20th century state employees and amateur historians created an inaccurate understanding of this beautiful region's past, based on frontier folklore and poorly researched speculations. The new 2016 Edition includes discoveries made since the first edition of the book in 2014. It includes the Migration Legend of the Creek People, which was lost in 1735 and discovered by the author in England in April 2015. The new edition also includes a recently discovered letter from a director of the French-English colony of Melilot in Northeast Georgia to a Protestant minister in Rotterdam. It is dated January 6, 1660! However, North Georgia still has many secrets to reveal.

The Forgotten History of North Georgia

"The Nacoochee Valley, Ancient Crossroads of the Americas" contains 101 photographs, 3D architectural renderings, archaeological drawings,historic maps and satellite images. The beautiful Nacoochee Valley is located in the Northeast Georgia Mountains. It has an extraordinary geological and cultural history. Created by ancient volcanoes, it was the scene of the nation's first major gold rush. Archaeologists have found that humans have lived here for at least 12,000 years. The earliest villages date from around 1000 Bc. However,during the period between around 800 Ad and 1500 Ad, it was essentially a metropolis with towns and villages almost continuous. This is also the probable location where the survivors of the Lost Roanoke Colony spent their last days. The eight Eleanor Dare stone tablets, found here in the valley, have recently been proven authentic. There is so much more that happened here. You will find the Nacoochee's story fascinating.
