Surrounded by rivers on three sides and the Georgia state line on the other, Hamilton County forms a cape of its own within the greater peninsula of Florida. First settled around 1825 by Daniel Bell, the rural area has remained true to its roots--agriculture is still the mainstay of the land. The population of the area began very small and gradually grew to almost 12,000 citizens with three main cities in the county: Jasper, Jennings, and White Springs, all of which have seen their heyday as large business-oriented communities. Focusing on the history and heritage of the communities brings forth the memories and traditions of a time long gone, and it is through preservation of those long-lost moments that it is possible to promote cultural growth.
This book carries the reader back to the early years of World War II. It is centered on an insightful American woman's daily experience, recorded in her diary from 1939 to 1942, wherein personal reflections and epic thrust yield an intriguing sense of plot. Author Lester Bartson draws on many external sources in order to bring to life the diarist's interesting native city of Canton, Ohio, her subsequent service as a WAC during the liberation of France, and postwar initiatives in Nova Scotia. Bartson uses recently discovered original material to piece together the poignant story of her husband, a Canadian RAF pilot during the First World War. Historical and cultural issues are given perspective by richly interactive notes, a broadly based Introduction, reflective Epilogue, thematic Index, and more than fifty individual illustrations.
