Dahlonega, Georgia is known primarily as the site of the first major United States gold rush. But now, as the gold dust has settled, we can look back on the town's complex history - a history more valuable than its famous abundance of precious metal. Dahlonega, Georgia: A Brief History, is not to be confused with works focusing solely on the distant past. The most up-to-date account available, Dahlonega, Georgia even includes the famous 2006 discovery of gold underneath an old hotel. Anne Dismukes Amerson, author of "The Best of I Remember Dahlonega," once again brings vitality and passion to her account as she explores the intriguing history of this beautiful Georgia city. |
