From the arrival of the first settlers in 1832, Polk

County has seen a colorful parade of individuals. The Cherokee Indian Chief Collard, the Polk County

Avenger, and the Iron King of the South are just a few of the people who have left their mark on the area. For the first time, many eventful stories about

such individuals have been assembled and illustrated

in the fascinating visual history Polk County, Georgia. Through many years of combing the county for local history, the author, a Polk County resident for 20 years and a self-described "enlightened Yankee," has combined carefully selected images with informative text to create an evocative pictorial history that brings the county's rich past to life.
