{\an7}GEORGIA...
2
00:00:03,203 --> 00:00:07,340
{\an7}\hFROM A STUNNING COAST
WHERE NATURE RUNS WILD,
3
00:00:07,374 --> 00:00:09,810
{\an7}ACROSS FIELDS OF COTTON,
4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:11,478
{\an7}TO SNOW-DUSTED PEAKS
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:15,483
{\an7}AT THE END OF ONE OF THE WORLD‘S
LONGEST HIKING TRAILS.
6
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:20,388
{\an7}\hTHIS IS A STATE LOVED
BY PRESIDENTS, WRITERS,
7
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:23,823
{\an7}\h\hAND A CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER
WHO SOUGHT TO HEAL THE NATION
8
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:26,593
{\an7}WITH A TRANSCENDENT DREAM.
9
00:00:26,627 --> 00:00:31,398
{\an7}AERIAL GEORGIA EXPLORES THE RICH
HISTORY OF THIS SOUTHERN STATE,
10
00:00:31,431 --> 00:00:34,935
{\an7}FROM MYSTERIOUS TRACES
OF ITS ANCIENT PEOPLE,
11
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:40,040
{\an7}\hTO PAINFUL MEMORIES OF
AMERICA‘S WAR-TORN PAST.
12
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:41,908
{\an7}\hIT WAS HERE THAT
A VISIONARY AD MAN
13
00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:44,611
{\an7}REVOLUTIONIZED TELEVISION NEWS,
14
00:00:44,645 --> 00:00:51,018
{\an7}AND A TERRORIST TRIED TO DESTROY
THE OLYMPIC DREAMS OF THOUSANDS.
15
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,753
{\an7}WHERE A SMALL PIONEER TOWN
16
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:55,756
{\an7}WAS HOME TO AMERICA‘S
\h\h\hFIRST GOLD RUSH.
17
00:00:58,358 --> 00:01:01,061
{\an7}AND A CITY ONCE LEVELED BY WAR
18
00:01:01,094 --> 00:01:04,698
{\an7}ROSE AGAIN TO GLIMMER
\h\h\hFROM THE ASHES.
19
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:15,175
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHIS IS GEORGIA,
THE EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH.
20
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:54,280
{\an7}\hIN THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF GEORGIA,
21
00:01:54,314 --> 00:01:56,349
{\an7}\hON THE BANKS OF
THE ETOWAH RIVER,
22
00:01:56,383 --> 00:01:59,319
{\an7}STAND THE RELICS OF
\h\h\hA LOST WORLD.
23
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:05,725
{\an7}THESE EARTHEN MONUMENTS WERE
BUILT BY AN ANCIENT SOCIETY
24
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:10,030
{\an7}KNOWN TO ARCHAEOLOGISTS AS THE
MISSISSIPPIAN MOUND BUILDERS.
25
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:15,569
{\an7}\hTHESE PEOPLE AND THEIR
STRUCTURES MAY BE GONE,
26
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:20,073
{\an7}BUT THE OUTLINES OF THEIR ONCE
SOPHISTICATED CULTURE REMAIN.
27
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:24,411
{\an7}FROM THIS SIX-STORY-TALL MOUND,
28
00:02:24,444 --> 00:02:26,479
{\an7}\h\h\hIT‘S BELIEVED THAT
THE CITY‘S CHIEF PRIEST
29
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:28,081
{\an7}MAY HAVE PRESIDED
\hOVER CEREMONIES
30
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:30,651
{\an7}ON A BUSTLING PLAZA DOWN BELOW.
31
00:02:34,021 --> 00:02:37,291
{\an7}SMALLER MOUNDS MAY HAVE BEEN
\h\h\h\hUSED AS BURIAL SITES
32
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:40,828
{\an7}OR TO SUPPORT THE HOMES OF
OTHER PROMINENT CITIZENS.
33
00:02:42,963 --> 00:02:46,233
{\an7}MANY DETAILS ABOUT THESE NATIVE
AMERICANS AND THEIR CULTURE
34
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:48,502
{\an7}REMAIN A MYSTERY.
35
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:52,706
{\an7}\h\hMOUND BUILDERS
WERE THE ANCESTORS
36
00:02:52,739 --> 00:02:54,741
{\an7}OF THE CREEK AND CHEROKEE,
37
00:02:54,775 --> 00:02:58,545
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hWHO DOMINATED GEORGIA
IN THE CENTURIES THAT FOLLOWED.
38
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:04,018
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
EVENTUALLY PRESSED THESE TRIBES
39
00:03:04,051 --> 00:03:05,686
{\an7}TO MOVE TO OKLAHOMA--
40
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:10,524
{\an7}AND IN 1838, FORCIBLY RELOCATED
THOSE THAT REMAINED.

00:03:13,493 --> 00:03:17,063
{\an7}\h\hAN ESTIMATED 4,000 NATIVE
AMERICANS DIED ON THE JOURNEY,
42
00:03:17,097 --> 00:03:20,634
{\an7}\hWHICH IS KNOWN AS
THE TRAIL OF TEARS.
43
00:03:26,173 --> 00:03:28,609
{\an7}NEARBY, THE CHATTAHOOCHEE
\h\h\h\h\hNATIONAL FOREST
44
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:33,147
{\an7}COVERS ALMOST 750,000 ACRES
\h\h\h\hOF RUGGED LANDSCAPE,
45
00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:35,949
{\an7}INCLUDING SPRINGER MOUNTAIN.
46
00:03:35,982 --> 00:03:38,852
{\an7}IT‘S THE SOUTHERN ENDPOINT OF
\h\h\h\hTHE APPALACHIAN TRAIL,
47
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:43,189
{\an7}WHICH STARTS 2,000 MILES NORTH
\h\h\h\hIN THE STATE OF MAINE.

{\an7}\h\h\h\hONE HISTORIAN

49
00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:53,033
{\an7}\h\h\hAS "NOTHING BUT
A DESERT WITH TREES."
50
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:59,339
{\an7}BUT RATTLESNAKES, COPPERHEADS,
AND BLACK BEARS ALL LIVE HERE.
51
00:03:59,372 --> 00:04:03,409
{\an7}\hNORTH GEORGIA IS ALSO
HOME TO HIDDEN TREASURE.
52
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:12,585
{\an7}LEGEND HAS IT THAT IN 1828,
53
00:04:12,619 --> 00:04:15,589
{\an7}\h\h\h\hA DEER HUNTER HERE
TRIPPED OVER A SHINY ROCK
54
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:19,359
{\an7}THAT TURNED OUT TO BE
\h\hNEARLY PURE GOLD.
55
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,561
{\an7}\h\h\hA YEAR LATER,
A NEWSPAPER REPORTED
56
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:23,864
{\an7}THAT GOLD WAS DISCOVERED
\h\hIN HABERSHAM COUNTY
57
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:27,401
{\an7}AND PRACTICALLY OVERNIGHT, GIDDY

00:04:27,434 --> 00:04:31,571

LOOKING TO STRIKE IT RICH.
59
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:34,708
{\an7}\hIT WAS THE NATION‘S
FIRST MAJOR GOLD RUSH.
60
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:38,044
{\an7}BY 1861, ENOUGH GOLD
WAS DISCOVERED HERE
61
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:40,013
{\an7}FOR THE LOCAL FEDERAL MINT
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTO PRODUCE
62
00:04:40,046 --> 00:04:43,082
{\an7}ONE AND A HALF MILLION
\h\h\h\h\hGOLD COINS.
63
00:04:45,218 --> 00:04:47,420
{\an7}MUCH OF THE MINED GOLD
\h\h\hWAS TRANSPORTED
64
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:50,357
{\an7}ON THE NEWLY COMPLETED
\h\h\hUNICOI TURNPIKE,
65
00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:52,859
{\an7}A TOLL ROAD WHICH STRETCHED FROM
THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS
66
00:04:52,893 --> 00:04:55,696
{\an7}THROUGH THIS SWATH OF
\h\hNORTHEAST GEORGIA.
67
00:05:01,635 --> 00:05:03,670
{\an7}\h\hALONG THIS ROUTE
WAS A GOLD RUSH TOWN
68
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:09,876
{\an7}\h\h\hNAMED DAHLONEGA, FROM THE
CHEROKEE WORD FOR YELLOW MONEY.
69
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:12,579
{\an7}THE CITY PROSPERED UNTIL 1849,
70
00:05:12,612 --> 00:05:14,781
{\an7}WHEN NEWS OF CALIFORNIA‘S
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGOLD RUSH
71
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:17,217
{\an7}LURED THE MINERS WEST.
72
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:21,088
{\an7}TODAY, DAHLONEGA IS HOME
73
00:05:21,121 --> 00:05:23,824
{\an7}TO NORTH GEORGIA COLLEGE
\hAND STATE UNIVERSITY,
74
00:05:23,857 --> 00:05:28,328
{\an7}BUT THE TOWN DOESN‘T SHY AWAY
\h\h\h\hFROM ITS GOLDEN PAST.
75
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:31,364
{\an7}EVERY OCTOBER, VISITORS FROM
\hAROUND THE WORLD COME HERE
76
00:05:31,398 --> 00:05:35,435
{\an7}\h\hTO CELEBRATE GOLD RUSH DAY,
IN A TOWN CENTER THAT LOOKS LIKE
77
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:38,504
{\an7}IT‘S RIGHT OUT OF
THE 19th CENTURY.
78
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:44,511
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT WHEN IT COMES TO
GEORGIA‘S NATURAL RESOURCES,
79
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:48,748
{\an7}\hNONE HAS SHAPED HER HISTORY
AND ECONOMY LIKE THESE CROPS--
80
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:53,820
{\an7}WHAT THE LOCALS CALL
WHITE GOLD: COTTON.
81
00:05:53,854 --> 00:05:57,291
{\an7}\hCOTTONSEED WAS FIRST
PLANTED HERE IN 1785,
82
00:05:57,324 --> 00:06:01,094
{\an7}THOUGH IT TOOK GROWERS NEARLY
\h\h10 YEARS TO MAKE A PROFIT.
83
00:06:01,127 --> 00:06:02,762
{\an7}BY THE MID 19th CENTURY,
84
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:06,733
{\an7}\hMOST OF GEORGIA‘S BOUNTY WAS
BEING SHIPPED 1,000 MILES AWAY
85
00:06:06,766 --> 00:06:09,702
{\an7}\h\h\hTO FEED THE NORTH‘S
PROSPEROUS TEXTILE MILLS,
86
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:14,074
{\an7}WHILE THE SOUTH‘S ECONOMY
\h\h\h\hLAGGED FAR BEHIND.
87
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:15,809
{\an7}DETERMINED TO RIGHT
\h\h\hTHE IMBALANCE,
88
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:18,845
{\an7}A CIVIC LEADER PUT FORWARD
\h\h\hAN INNOVATIVE PLAN--
89
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:22,850
{\an7}TO BUILD AN INDUSTRIAL CANAL
ALONGSIDE THE SAVANNAH RIVER
90
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,119
{\an7}IN AUGUSTA.
91
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:29,055
{\an7}IN 1845, THE FIRST SHOVELS
\h\h\h\hBEGAN DIGGING OUT
92
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:31,992
{\an7}AUGUSTA‘S RED, RICH CLAY.
93
00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:36,496
{\an7}AND A FEW YEARS LATER, WATER WAS
COURSING THROUGH THIS CANAL--
94
00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:40,333
{\an7}WATER THAT SOON POWERED
\hNEW TEXTILE FACTORIES.
95
00:06:40,367 --> 00:06:43,437
{\an7}TODAY, THIS APPROXIMATELY
\h\h11-MILE-LONG WATERWAY
96
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,373
{\an7}PRODUCES HYDROELECTRIC POWER.
97
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:49,509
{\an7}THE CANAL AND MILLS ARE THE
FIRST NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA
98
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:53,413
{\an7}\h\hIN GEORGIA DESIGNATED BY
THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
99
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,190
{\an7}BY THE LATE 19th CENTURY,
\h\h\hTHANKS TO ITS MILLS,
100
00:07:03,223 --> 00:07:05,325
{\an7}AUGUSTA WAS BOOMING.
101
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:10,463
{\an7}AND IN 1897, BRICKS WERE LAID TO
BUILD THIS CATHOLIC CHURCH.
102
00:07:10,497 --> 00:07:12,866
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHREE YEARS LATER,
THIS IMPRESSIVE STRUCTURE
103
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:16,669
{\an7}\hWAS COMPLETE AND
READY FOR WORSHIP.
104
00:07:19,005 --> 00:07:21,474
{\an7}BUT WITH MORE AND MORE AUGUSTANS
MOVING TO THE SUBURBS
105
00:07:21,508 --> 00:07:24,277
{\an7}IN THE 20th CENTURY,
\hTHIS GIANT CHURCH
106
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:29,049
{\an7}\h\h\hCOULDN‘T SUSTAIN ITSELF
AND CLOSED ITS DOORS IN 1971.
107
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:34,087
{\an7}THE BUILDING ENDURED 16 YEARS
\h\h\hOF VANDALISM AND NEGLECT
108
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,657
{\an7}BEFORE BEING RENOVATED
AND RE-OPENED IN 1987
109
00:07:37,691 --> 00:07:40,894
{\an7}AS THE SACRED HEART
\h\hCULTURAL CENTER.
110
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:43,730
{\an7}\hTODAY, IT‘S A VENUE FOR
WEDDINGS, WINE FESTIVALS,
111
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:45,632
{\an7}AND CONCERTS.
112
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:53,272
{\an7}BUT AUGUSTA, GEORGIA,
\h\hMAY BE BEST KNOWN
113
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:57,076
{\an7}\h\hFOR THE AUGUSTA

128
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:49,763

STANDS FIERCELY RESISTANT
129
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:52,098
{\an7}TO CHANGING ITS WAYS.
130
00:08:57,370 --> 00:09:01,841
{\an7}ABOUT 90 MILES SOUTHEAST LIES
\hA CITY WITH A COLORFUL PAST,
131
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,577
{\an7}MILLEDGEVILLE.
132
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:09,582
{\an7}THE TOWN WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1804
AS THE STATE CAPITAL,
133
00:09:09,616 --> 00:09:12,519
{\an7}\h\hON LAND ACQUIRED

THIS SCRAGGLY FRONTIER TOWN
135
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:19,559
{\an7}WAS KNOWN FOR ITS SEEDY INNS,
\h\h\hBORDELLOS, AND GAMBLING.
136
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:25,198
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBUT SLOWLY,
THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE.
137
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,900
{\an7}ONE OF THE CAPITAL‘S MOST
\hIMPORTANT NEW BUILDINGS
138
00:09:27,934 --> 00:09:29,736
{\an7}WAS THE GOVERNOR‘S MANSION.
139
00:09:32,372 --> 00:09:34,507
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBUILT IN

00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:37,744
{\an7}THE MANSION WAS

141
00:09:37,777 --> 00:09:42,315
{\an7}AND IS NOW A NATIONAL HISTORIC
\h\h\h\hLANDMARK AND A MUSEUM.
142
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,523
{\an7}\hMILLEDGEVILLE WAS ALSO

00:09:55,695 --> 00:09:58,598
{\an7}\h\hTHE BUDDING AUTHOR HAD MOVED
TO THE NORTHEAST AFTER COLLEGE,
145
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:03,236
{\an7}\hBUT A LUPUS DIAGNOSIS IN 1950
BROUGHT HER BACK TO THIS PLACE--
146
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:08,074
{\an7}A 544-ACRE FAMILY FARM
\h\hCALLED ANDALUSIA.
147
00:10:10,009 --> 00:10:12,311
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hIT WAS HERE,
CARED FOR BY HER MOTHER,
148
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:15,448
{\an7}\h\hTHAT SHE COMPLETED HER MOST
FAMOUS NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES,
149
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,751
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA GOOD MAN
IS HARD TO FIND,
150
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:22,122
{\an7}THAT EXPLORE THE THEME OF
\h\h\h\hA DECAYING SOUTH.
151
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:25,358
{\an7}O‘CONNOR SPENT HER FINAL DAYS
\h\h\h\hDOING WHAT SHE LOVED,
152
00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:28,728
{\an7}\hRAISING PEACOCKS AND DRAWING
INSPIRATION FROM THE LANDSCAPE
153
00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:32,498
{\an7}SURROUNDING ANDALUSIA.
154
00:10:32,532 --> 00:10:38,204
{\an7}SHE DIED OF LUPUS IN 1964
\h\hAT THE AGE OF JUST 39.
155
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:47,381
{\an7}\h\h\h\hA FEW MILES AWAY STANDS
THE OLD STATE CAPITOL BUILDING.
156
00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:50,616
{\an7}WITH ITS POINTED ARCHED WINDOWS
AND ROOFTOP BATTLEMENTS,
157
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,819
{\an7}\hIT‘S THE CONSIDERED ONE OF
THE OLDEST PUBLIC BUILDINGS
158
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:57,623
{\an7}\h\h\hIN AMERICA BUILT IN
THE GOTHIC REVIVAL STYLE.
159
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:01,094
{\an7}BUT IT‘S WHAT HAPPENED INSIDE
\h\h\h\h\hTHAT FOREVER CHANGED
160
00:11:01,127 --> 00:11:03,863
{\an7}THE COURSE OF HISTORY.
161
00:11:03,897 --> 00:11:08,402
{\an7}IT WAS HERE IN JANUARY 1861
\h\h\hTHAT GEORGIA LAWMAKERS
162
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:12,772
{\an7}\h\h\hVOTED 160 TO 130
IN FAVOR OF SECESSION
163
00:11:12,805 --> 00:11:15,141
{\an7}FROM THE UNITED STATES.
164
00:11:15,175 --> 00:11:17,444
{\an7}THIS 30-VOTE MAJORITY
WOULD PLUNGE THE STATE
165
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:22,415
{\an7}\h\hINTO FOUR YEARS OF WAR AND
DEVASTATE MANY OF ITS CITIES.
166
00:11:25,818 --> 00:11:27,019
{\an7}RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STATE
167
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:29,122
{\an7}SITS THE CITY OF MACON,
168
00:11:29,155 --> 00:11:32,225
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNICKNAMED
"THE HEART OF GEORGIA."
169
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:36,429
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hFROM THE AIR
ITS QUAINT NEIGHBORHOODS
170
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:41,334
{\an7}OFFER A STUNNING GLIMPSE
\h\h\hOF THE OLD SOUTH.
171
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:44,136
{\an7}THERE ARE DOZENS OF HOMES HERE
\h\hTHAT LOOK JUST AS THEY DID
172
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:47,807
{\an7}IN THE LATE 19th CENTURY.
173
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,778
{\an7}MANY OF THEM WERE BUILT ON
THE SPOILS OF KING COTTON.
174
00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:56,749
{\an7}\h\hBUT MACON‘S CROWN JEWEL IS
THE MANSION ON GEORGIA AVENUE
175
00:11:56,783 --> 00:11:59,185
{\an7}KNOWN AS HAY HOUSE.
176
00:12:00,853 --> 00:12:03,489
{\an7}THE FOUR-STORY HOME
WITH A CUPOLA ABOVE
177
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:07,027
{\an7}WAS BUILT BETWEEN 1855 AND 1859
178
00:12:07,060 --> 00:12:10,730
{\an7}\h\hBY RAILROAD MAGNATE
WILLIAM BUTLER JOHNSON.
179
00:12:12,599 --> 00:12:15,702
{\an7}HE AND HIS BRIDE HAD FALLEN IN
LOVE WITH ITALIAN ARCHITECTURE
180
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:18,004
{\an7}DURING THEIR HONEYMOON
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN EUROPE
181
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,506
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND DECIDED TO BRING
THE ELEGANCE OF THE OLD WORLD
182
00:12:20,540 --> 00:12:22,409
{\an7}BACK TO GEORGIA.
183
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:29,048
{\an7}\hNOT ONLY WAS THE 24-ROOM,
16,000-SQUARE-FOOT RESIDENCE
184
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:30,917
{\an7}MAGNIFICENT TO BEHOLD,
185
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:33,786
{\an7}IT WAS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST
INNOVATIVE HOMES OF ITS DAY,
186
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:36,189
{\an7}COMPLETE WITH HOT AND COLD
\h\h\h\h\h\hRUNNING WATER
187
00:12:36,222 --> 00:12:39,559
{\an7}AND CENTRAL HEATING.
188
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,861
{\an7}NO WONDER HAY HOUSE
EARNED THE NICKNAME,
189
00:12:41,894 --> 00:12:44,797
{\an7}THE PALACE OF THE SOUTH.
190
00:12:52,905 --> 00:12:55,941
{\an7}\h\hWITHIN JUST TWO YEARS OF
THE COMPLETION OF HAY HOUSE,
191
00:12:55,975 --> 00:12:57,810
{\an7}THE GLORY DAYS OF THE OLD SOUTH
192
00:12:57,844 --> 00:13:02,248
{\an7}WERE SUBSUMED BY CANNON FIRE,
\h\h\h\h\hBLOODSHED, AND FEAR.
193
00:13:03,716 --> 00:13:07,820
{\an7}IN NORTHEAST GEORGIA, THE LITTLE
TOWN OF WASHINGTON IS BEST KNOWN
194
00:13:07,854 --> 00:13:10,156
{\an7}FOR AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY--
195
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:14,326
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHE CASE OF
THE LOST CONFEDERATE GOLD.
196
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,563
{\an7}RIGHT AFTER THE CIVIL WAR ENDED,
FEDERAL TROOPS SEIZED
197
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:20,700
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hWHAT WAS LEFT OF
THE CONFEDERATE TREASURY.
198
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,001
{\an7}BUT RIGHT OUTSIDE OF WASHINGTON,
199
00:13:22,035 --> 00:13:24,571
{\an7}\hRENEGADES STOLE
THE FORTUNE BACK.
200
00:13:24,604 --> 00:13:28,108
{\an7}THE STASH, NOW ESTIMATED TO BE
\h\h\hWORTH A MILLION DOLLARS,
201
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:31,111
{\an7}HAS NEVER BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR.
202
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:35,081
{\an7}\h\hMANY ARE CONVINCED
IT WAS HIDDEN NEARBY.
203
00:13:45,925 --> 00:13:50,763
{\an7}IN THE DISTANCE, A GIANT DOME
\h\hPUSHES UP FROM THE EARTH.
204
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:53,233
{\an7}THIS IS STONE MOUNTAIN--
205
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:57,203
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAN 800-FOOT-TALL
SOLID GRANITE MONOLITH.
206
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:59,972
{\an7}\h\h\hIT WAS BORN OVER
300 MILLION YEARS AGO,
207
00:14:00,006 --> 00:14:03,376
{\an7}AT THE TIME THAT THE APPALACHIAN
MOUNTAINS WERE FORMED.
208
00:14:03,409 --> 00:14:08,114
{\an7}YOU‘D HAVE TO WALK FIVE MILES
\h\h\hJUST TO CIRCLE ITS BASE.
209
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:10,816
{\an7}\h\h\h\hA VISITOR CENTER
AND TV/RADIO TRANSMITTER
210
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:13,586
{\an7}NOW SIT ATOP STONE MOUNTAIN.
211
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:16,222
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT THERE WAS A TIME
WHEN IT WAS A MEETING PLACE
212
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:18,057
{\an7}FOR THE KU KLUX KLAN--
213
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:21,528
{\an7}\h\h\hITS PEAK CROWNED
WITH A BURNING CROSS.
214
00:14:34,507 --> 00:14:39,312
{\an7}TODAY, STONE MOUNTAIN
BEARS OTHER MEMORIES.
215
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:42,515
{\an7}IN 1916, THE UNITED DAUGHTERS
\h\h\h\h\h\hOF THE CONFEDERACY
216
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:44,250
{\an7}\h\h\h\hGOT PERMISSION
TO OVERSEE THE CARVING
217
00:14:44,283 --> 00:14:48,754
{\an7}OF A CIVIL WAR MONUMENT HERE.
218
00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:51,924
{\an7}THE FINISHED WORK COVERS
THREE ACRES OF ROCK FACE
219
00:14:51,958 --> 00:14:55,195
{\an7}AND TOOK 57 YEARS TO COMPLETE.
220
00:14:58,030 --> 00:15:00,366
{\an7}\h\hIT DEPICTS THREE
CONFEDERATE HEROES--
221
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,803
{\an7}PRESIDENT JEFFERSON DAVIS,
\h\hGENERAL ROBERT E. LEE,
222
00:15:03,836 --> 00:15:07,406
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND GENERAL
THOMAS "STONEWALL" JACKSON.
223
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:13,947
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBY THE 1960s,
STONE MOUNTAIN HAD BECOME
224
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:16,783
{\an7}\h\h\h\hSO EMBLEMATIC
OF HATRED AND RACISM,
225
00:15:16,816 --> 00:15:18,451
{\an7}IT EVEN GOT A MENTION
226
00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:21,754
{\an7}\h\hIN MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.‘S
FAMOUS "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH,
227
00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:27,694
{\an7}WHEN HE SAID, "LET FREEDOM RING
FROM STONE MOUNTAIN IN GEORGIA."
228
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:38,838
{\an7}LESS THAN 20 MILES AWAY STANDS
\h\h\hTHE CITY THAT WOULD FEEL
229
00:15:38,871 --> 00:15:44,243
{\an7}THE CIVIL WAR‘S FIERY WRATH
\h\hLIKE NO OTHER--ATLANTA.
230
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:50,049
{\an7}\h\hIT WAS FOUNDED IN 1837
AND NAMED FOR THE RAILROAD
231
00:15:50,082 --> 00:15:52,751
{\an7}ON WHICH THE CITY WAS BUILT--
232
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:57,623
{\an7}\hATLANTICA-PACIFICA,
SHORTENED TO ATLANTA.
233
00:15:57,657 --> 00:16:02,028
{\an7}AND IN 1868, IT BECAME
\h\hTHE STATE CAPITAL.
234
00:16:03,696 --> 00:16:05,998
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHE DESIGN OF
THE GEORGIA STATE HOUSE
235
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:08,134
{\an7}FOLLOWED THE SAME
NEOCLASSICAL STYLE
236
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:10,870
{\an7}USED FOR THE U.S. CAPITOL
\hBUILDING IN WASHINGTON,
237
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:15,040
{\an7}\h\hBUT IT MAINTAINED SOME
DISTINCTLY LOCAL TOUCHES--
238
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:18,377
{\an7}INSIDE, 1 1/2 ACRES
\hOF GEORGIA MARBLE
239
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:21,080
{\an7}LINE ITS FLOORS AND HALLWAYS.
240
00:16:21,113 --> 00:16:24,717
{\an7}\hAMAZINGLY, THE BUILDING‘S
DOME WAS ORIGINALLY ADORNED
241
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:29,154
{\an7}WITH 43 OUNCES OF REAL
23-KARAT GEORGIA GOLD,
242
00:16:29,188 --> 00:16:33,459
{\an7}MINED NOT FAR AWAY
IN LUMPKIN COUNTY.
243
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,495
{\an7}ON TOP OF THE DOME
IS A 15-FOOT TALL,
244
00:16:35,528 --> 00:16:40,466
{\an7}\h\h2,000-POUND STATUE
KNOWN AS MISS FREEDOM.
245
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:54,848
{\an7}JUST A STONE‘S THROW AWAY,
\hCENTENNIAL OLYMPIC PARK
246
00:16:54,881 --> 00:17:00,587
{\an7}WAS CREATED TO BE A TOWN SQUARE
FOR THE 1996 SUMMER OLYMPICS,
247
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:02,689
{\an7}BUT IT‘S BEST REMEMBERED
\h\h\h\h\h\hAS THE SCENE
248
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:05,124
{\an7}OF A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACK.
249
00:17:07,326 --> 00:17:10,529
{\an7}ONE THE NIGHT OF JULY 27, 1996,
250
00:17:10,563 --> 00:17:12,565
{\an7}THE LARGEST PIPE BOMB
\h\h\hIN U.S. HISTORY
251
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,800
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hWAS DETONATED
IN THE MIDST OF A CONCERT,
252
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:20,239
{\an7}KILLING ONE PERSON AND
\hINJURING 111 OTHERS.
253
00:17:20,273 --> 00:17:22,075
{\an7}\h\h\hCONFESSED BOMBER
ERIC RUDOLPH HAD HOPED
254
00:17:22,108 --> 00:17:24,344
{\an7}TO FORCE THE CANCELLATION
\h\h\h\h\h\hOF THE GAMES,
255
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:29,048
{\an7}\h\h\h\hBUT ATLANTA WOULD NOT BE
BULLIED, AND THE GAMES WENT ON.
256
00:17:33,519 --> 00:17:35,755
{\an7}IT‘S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
\hTHE GLEAMING METROPOLIS
257
00:17:35,788 --> 00:17:40,059
{\an7}STANDING HERE TODAY WAS
\h\h\hONCE A WASTELAND.
258
00:17:43,696 --> 00:17:45,164
{\an7}IN 1864,
259
00:17:45,197 --> 00:17:47,966
{\an7}AFTER A WEEKS-LONG ARTILLERY
\h\hBOMBARDMENT OF THE CITY,
260
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,236
{\an7}GENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN
261
00:17:50,269 --> 00:17:52,905
{\an7}ORDERED ALL CIVILIANS
\h\h\h\h\hTO EVACUATE.
262
00:17:52,939 --> 00:17:56,075
{\an7}HIS TROOPS SET FIRE TO THE CITY.
263
00:17:56,108 --> 00:17:59,211
{\an7}AND EVERYTHING, EXCEPT FOR
\hCHURCHES AND HOSPITALS,
264
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:02,148
{\an7}BURNED TO THE GROUND.
265
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:12,625
{\an7}\hFROM THE ASHES, ATLANTA
SLOWLY BUT SURELY REBUILT.
266
00:18:12,658 --> 00:18:16,529
{\an7}HERE, IN THE 1920s, LIVED
A STRUGGLING YOUNG WRITER
267
00:18:16,562 --> 00:18:20,733
{\an7}INSPIRED BY THE EPIC TALES OF
\h\hHER STATE‘S WAR-TORN PAST.
268
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,802
{\an7}\h\hIT WAS INSIDE APARTMENT
NUMBER ONE OF THIS BUILDING
269
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:25,304
{\an7}THAT MARGARET MITCHELL PENNED
270
00:18:25,338 --> 00:18:29,642
{\an7}MOST OF THE WILDLY POPULAR NOVEL
GONE WITH THE WIND.
271
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,077
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIN HER LATER YEARS,
MITCHELL FREQUENTLY REMARKED
272
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:34,914
{\an7}\h\h\h\hABOUT HOW MUCH
SHE HATED LIVING HERE.
273
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:36,315
{\an7}LITTLE COULD SHE HAVE IMAGINED,
274
00:18:36,349 --> 00:18:38,651
{\an7}THE APARTMENT SHE REFERRED TO
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAS "THE DUMP"
275
00:18:38,684 --> 00:18:42,621
{\an7}\h\h\h\hWOULD ONE DAY SERVE AS
THE MARGARET MITCHELL MUSEUM.
276
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:45,191
{\an7}\h\hBUT WHILE MITCHELL‘S OWN
ACCOMMODATIONS WERE HUMBLE,
277
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:48,461
{\an7}THOSE OF HER CHARACTERS
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWERE NOT.
278
00:18:48,494 --> 00:18:50,329
{\an7}ACCORDING TO GEORGIA LORE,
279
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:52,565
{\an7}THIS PLANTATION HOUSE
\hIN NEARBY JONESBORO
280
00:18:52,598 --> 00:18:54,667
{\an7}WAS MARGARET MITCHELL‘S
\h\h\h\h\h\hINSPIRATION
281
00:18:54,700 --> 00:18:59,104
{\an7}FOR TARA, THE ICONIC SETTING
\h\h\h\h\h\hGONE WITH THE WIND.
282
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,173
{\an7}THIS GREEK REVIVAL STYLE
\h\h\h\hPLANTATION HOUSE
283
00:19:01,207 --> 00:19:04,610
{\an7}\h\hWAS BUILT IN 1839,
AND TRUE TO ITS NAME,

{\an7}\h\hTHIS 100,000-SQUARE-FOOT

00:20:05,271 --> 00:20:09,075
{\an7}THAT WAS ONCE A WORLD AWAY--
301
00:20:09,108 --> 00:20:11,978
{\an7}THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF

302
00:20:12,011 --> 00:20:15,548
{\an7}IT WAS HERE ON JANUARY 15, 1929,

{\an7}\hIN THE UPSTAIRS ROOM
OF THIS YELLOW HOUSE,

{\an7}AND IT WAS THE SITE OF
\hHIS FUNERAL IN 1968.
311
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:49,148
{\an7}BUT IT‘S THE KING CENTER
\h\h\h\h\hJUST NEXT DOOR

00:20:49,181 --> 00:20:52,351
{\an7}THAT SERVES AS HIS MEMORIAL.
313
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:55,020

INSIDE SITTING FOR A PORTRAIT
425
00:28:07,619 --> 00:28:08,920
{\an7}\hWHEN HE SUDDENLY
GRABBED HIS HEAD,
426
00:28:08,954 --> 00:28:11,457
{\an7}COMPLAINING OF A SHARP PAIN.
427
00:28:13,992 --> 00:28:17,529
{\an7}A FEW MINUTES LATER, AMERICA‘S
\h\hLONGEST-SERVING PRESIDENT
428
00:28:17,563 --> 00:28:21,167
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWOULD BE DEAD OF
A MASSIVE CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE.
429
00:28:22,968 --> 00:28:24,570
{\an7}ROOSEVELT‘S LEGACY LIVES ON
430
00:28:24,603 --> 00:28:29,007
{\an7}\hIN A NATIONAL PARK
THAT BEARS HIS NAME.
431
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:31,510
{\an7}\h\h\h\hAFTER BATHING IN
THE WARM SPRINGS NEARBY,
432
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:34,780
{\an7}\h\hHE USED TO COME TO
THIS PARK FOR PICNICS.
433
00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:38,050
{\an7}\hWITH 9,000 ACRES OF
PROTECTED WILDERNESS,
434
00:28:38,083 --> 00:28:40,052
{\an7}THE F.D. ROOSEVELT STATE PARK
435
00:28:40,085 --> 00:28:43,789
{\an7}IS THE LARGEST STATE PARK
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIN GEORGIA.
436
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:49,061
{\an7}TO THE SOUTH, IN SUMMERVILLE,
437
00:28:49,094 --> 00:28:51,797
{\an7}IS A VERY DIFFERENT
\h\h\hKIND OF PARK.
438
00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:55,667
{\an7}\h\hTHIS IS PARADISE GARDENS,
THE LEGACY OF BAPTIST MINISTER
439
00:28:55,701 --> 00:28:59,772
{\an7}AND SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST
\h\h\hHOWARD FINSTER.
440
00:28:59,805 --> 00:29:03,409
{\an7}IN 1961, FINSTER CLAIMED
TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD
441
00:29:03,442 --> 00:29:06,645
{\an7}\h\h\h\hCOMMANDING HIM
TO CREATE SACRED ART,
442
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:09,548
{\an7}AND THE REVEREND OBEYED.
443
00:29:09,581 --> 00:29:12,217
{\an7}HE USED FOUND MATERIALS
\h\h\hLIKE BOTTLE CAPS,
444
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:14,386
{\an7}RUSTY BICYCLE PARTS,
\h\hAND OLD JEWELRY
445
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:18,690
{\an7}\hTO CONSTRUCT THOUSANDS
OF UNUSUAL WORKS OF ART.
446
00:29:18,724 --> 00:29:21,360
{\an7}MANY CONSIDER THIS HANDCRAFTED,
5-STORY BUILDING
447
00:29:21,393 --> 00:29:23,562
{\an7}TO BE HIS MASTERPIECE.
448
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,564
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hBUILT AROUND
A PRE-EXISTING CHURCH,
449
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:30,569
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIT‘S KNOWN AS
THE WORLD‘S FOLK ART CHAPEL.
450
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:32,237
{\an7}\hPARADISE GARDENS
MAY LOOK FAMILIAR
451
00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:34,507
{\an7}TO FANS OF THE BAND R.E.M.
452
00:29:34,539 --> 00:29:37,575
{\an7}IT WAS FEATURED IN THE VIDEO FOR
RADIO FREE EUROPE,
453
00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:41,613
{\an7}\hAND FINSTER THEN WENT ON TO
PAINT THEIR NEXT ALBUM COVER.
454
00:29:46,285 --> 00:29:48,654
{\an7}\hR.E.M. WAS JUST ONE OF
THE GROUPS THAT EMERGED
455
00:29:48,687 --> 00:29:53,325
{\an7}FROM THE MUSIC SCENE IN THIS
\h\h\hCOLLEGE TOWN--ATHENS.
456
00:29:53,358 --> 00:29:55,927
{\an7}THE B-52s, PYLON,
\hAND INDIGO GIRLS
457
00:29:55,961 --> 00:29:58,797
{\an7}ALSO GOT THEIR START HERE.
458
00:29:58,830 --> 00:30:04,502
{\an7}SO DID ACTRESS KIM BASINGER AND
FOOTBALL LEGEND FRAN TARKENTON.
459
00:30:04,536 --> 00:30:07,172
{\an7}NOW THE FIFTH LARGEST
\h\h\hCITY IN GEORGIA,
460
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:10,508
{\an7}\h\hATHENS GREW UP AROUND
THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA.
461
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:13,345
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hOPENED IN 1801,
IT WAS THE NATION‘S FIRST
462
00:30:13,378 --> 00:30:15,881
{\an7}CHARTERED STATE UNIVERSITY.
463
00:30:15,914 --> 00:30:18,750
{\an7}THE SCHOOL‘S FOOTBALL TEAM
PLAYS ITS HOME GAMES HERE,
464
00:30:18,784 --> 00:30:20,486
{\an7}AT SANFORD STADIUM.
465
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:24,023
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hORIGINALLY BUILT IN
THE LATE 1920s BY CONVICT LABOR,
466
00:30:24,056 --> 00:30:26,792
{\an7}IT HAS SINCE EXPANDED
\h\h\h\h\hFROM 30,000
467
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:29,261
{\an7}TO MORE THAN 90,000 SEATS.
468
00:30:29,294 --> 00:30:31,730
{\an7}FROM THE AIR, YOU CAN SEE
\h\h\h\hTHE FAMOUS HEDGES
469
00:30:31,763 --> 00:30:35,200
{\an7}THAT HAVE ENCIRCLED THE FIELD
EVER SINCE ITS OPENING GAME--
470
00:30:35,233 --> 00:30:39,738
{\an7}GEORGIA BULLDOGS VERSUS
\h\hYALE BULLDOGS, 1929.
471
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:43,541
{\an7}IT WAS THE YALE FOOTBALL TEAM‘S
FIRST VISIT TO THE SOUTH.
472
00:30:43,575 --> 00:30:45,343
{\an7}BUT AFTER THE BULLDOGS
\h\h\h\h\hHAD BATTLED,
473
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:49,381
{\an7}YALE WENT HOME DEFEATED,
\h\h\h\h\h15 TO NOTHING.
474
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:55,787
{\an7}IT‘S ABOUT 100 MILES
FROM ATHENS TO ROME,
475
00:30:55,821 --> 00:30:58,624
{\an7}AT LEAST IN GEORGIA.
476
00:30:58,657 --> 00:31:02,060
{\an7}HERE, IN FRONT OF CITY HALL,
STANDS A PERMANENT REMINDER
477
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:05,831
{\an7}\h\hOF THE BOND BETWEEN
OLD ROME AND NEW ROME--
478
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:08,900
{\an7}\h\hA BRONZE REPLICA OF
ITALY‘S FAMED SCULPTURE
479
00:31:08,934 --> 00:31:11,303
{\an7}OF ROMULUS AND REMUS.
480
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:17,642
{\an7}DURING WORLD WAR II, BECAUSE OF
ITALY‘S TIES TO NAZI GERMANY,
481
00:31:17,676 --> 00:31:22,014
{\an7}THE SCULPTURE WAS REMOVED AND
REPLACED BY AN AMERICAN FLAG.
482
00:31:22,047 --> 00:31:26,218
{\an7}IT WAS RETURNED TO
THIS SPOT IN 1952.
483
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:30,956
{\an7}\h\hROME PRIDES ITSELF ON
ITS HISTORIC MAIN STREET.
484
00:31:30,989 --> 00:31:32,924
{\an7}REBUILT AFTER THE CIVIL WAR,
485
00:31:32,958 --> 00:31:34,593
{\an7}THIS REVITALIZED NEIGHBORHOOD
486
00:31:34,626 --> 00:31:37,929
{\an7}IS ONE OF THE BEST-PRESERVED
\h\h\hVICTORIAN CITY CENTERS
487
00:31:37,963 --> 00:31:40,232
{\an7}IN ALL OF THE SOUTH.
488
00:31:46,138 --> 00:31:49,675
{\an7}SEEING GEORGIA FROM THE SKY,
YOU QUICKLY COME TO REALIZE
489
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:55,647
{\an7}\h\h\hHOW BEAUTIFUL, WILD,
AND DIVERSE THIS STATE IS.
490
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,552
{\an7}FROM A TIMBER TOWN TURNED
BAVARIAN VILLAGE IN HELEN,
491
00:32:00,585 --> 00:32:01,686
{\an7}TO A GLOBAL VILLAGE
492
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,391
{\an7}AT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN AMERICUS.
493
00:32:06,425 --> 00:32:09,161
{\an7}BUT ONE THING THAT‘S LONG
\h\hHELD GEORGIA TOGETHER
494
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:11,496
{\an7}IS ITS RAILROADS.
495
00:32:11,530 --> 00:32:14,366
{\an7}\h\h\h\hSINCE THE TRAINS
FIRST RAN IN THE 1830s,
496
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:17,702
{\an7}MORE THAN 100 RAILWAYS
\hHAVE OPERATED HERE--
497
00:32:17,736 --> 00:32:22,307
{\an7}LIKE THE HOOK AND EYE LINE,
\h\hTHE IRON BELT RAILROAD,
498
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:25,076
{\an7}AND THE VIDALIA ROUTE.
499
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:31,817
{\an7}DURING THE CIVIL WAR,
THE RAILROADS PROVIDED
500
00:32:31,850 --> 00:32:36,621
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hA CRITICAL NETWORK FOR
CONFEDERATE TROOPS AND WEAPONS.
501
00:32:36,655 --> 00:32:38,824
{\an7}\h\h\hAS GENERAL SHERMAN
BEGAN HIS FATEFUL MARCH
502
00:32:38,857 --> 00:32:41,159
{\an7}FROM ATLANTA TO SAVANNAH,
503
00:32:41,193 --> 00:32:43,395
{\an7}HE SET HIS SIGHTS
\hON THE RAILWAYS,
504
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:46,231
{\an7}HUNDREDS OF MILES WORTH.
505
00:32:46,264 --> 00:32:48,366
{\an7}THE MELTED, TWISTED TRACKS
\h\h\h\h\h\hHE LEFT BEHIND
506
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,838
{\an7}\h\hBECAME KNOWN AS
SHERMAN‘S NECKTIES.
507
00:32:52,871 --> 00:32:57,275
{\an7}THIS HEARTH IS ALL THAT REMAINS
OF A HOME HIS TROOPS BURNED--
508
00:32:57,309 --> 00:33:00,078
{\an7}\h\hALL PART OF AN EFFORT
TO DESTROY SOUTHERN MORALE
509
00:33:00,111 --> 00:33:02,046
{\an7}AND FORCE A SURRENDER.
510
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:07,218
{\an7}"I WANT TO MAKE GEORGIA HOWL,"
\h\hHE SAID--AND HE SUCCEEDED.
511
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,188
{\an7}A MONTH INTO SHERMAN‘S MARCH,
512
00:33:10,222 --> 00:33:12,224
{\an7}\hHIS TROOPS WERE
NEARING SAVANNAH,
513
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:15,694
{\an7}BUT THEY WERE IN DESPERATE
\h\h\h\hNEED OF SUPPLIES.
514
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:17,162
{\an7}THE OGEECHEE RIVER COULD PROVIDE
515
00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:22,567
{\an7}\hA PERFECT DELIVERY ROUTE
FOR OFFSHORE UNION SHIPS.
516
00:33:22,601 --> 00:33:24,503
{\an7}BUT THE OGEECHEE WAS
UNDER THE PROTECTION
517
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:26,772
{\an7}\hOF AN EARTHEN-WALLED
CONFEDERATE STRONGHOLD
518
00:33:26,805 --> 00:33:29,408
{\an7}CALLED FORT McALLISTER.
519
00:33:29,441 --> 00:33:31,443
{\an7}\h\h\hDURING THE WAR,
THE FORT HAD REPELLED
520
00:33:31,476 --> 00:33:33,578
{\an7}SEVEN ATTACKS FROM THE SEA,
521
00:33:33,612 --> 00:33:38,650
{\an7}BUT IT WAS VIRTUALLY HELPLESS
AGAINST A STRONG LAND ATTACK.
522
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:42,954
{\an7}\h\h\hON DECEMBER 13, 1864,
A DIVISION OF UNION SOLDIERS
523
00:33:42,988 --> 00:33:45,557
{\an7}LAID SIEGE TO THE FORT.
524
00:33:45,590 --> 00:33:49,627
{\an7}JUST 15 MINUTES LATER,
THEY DECLARED VICTORY.
525
00:33:52,097 --> 00:33:55,400
{\an7}\hUNION SHIPS WERE NOW ABLE TO
RENDEZVOUS WITH SHERMAN‘S ARMY
526
00:33:55,433 --> 00:33:57,135
{\an7}\hAND PROVIDE THEM WITH
THE SUPPLIES THEY NEEDED
527
00:33:57,168 --> 00:34:01,339
{\an7}\h\h\hTO STAGE THEIR
ATTACK ON SAVANNAH.
528
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:03,876
{\an7}\hBEFORE SHERMAN‘S MEN
EVEN ENTERED THE CITY,
529
00:34:03,909 --> 00:34:07,946
{\an7}THE OPPOSING CONFEDERATE GENERAL
TURNED TAIL AND DISAPPEARED.
530
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:09,347
{\an7}THE NEXT MORNING,
531
00:34:09,381 --> 00:34:13,185
{\an7}SAVANNAH‘S MAYOR OFFERED
\h\hA FORMAL SURRENDER.
532
00:34:15,387 --> 00:34:18,991
{\an7}TODAY, SAVANNAH IS A BUSTLING
\h\h\h\h\h\hINDUSTRIAL CENTER
533
00:34:19,024 --> 00:34:21,860
{\an7}AND THE LARGEST PORT IN GEORGIA.
534
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:24,763
{\an7}BUT THAT‘S NOT WHAT
DRAWS TOURISTS HERE.
535
00:34:24,796 --> 00:34:26,464
{\an7}THEY COME HERE FROM
\hALL OVER THE WORLD
536
00:34:26,498 --> 00:34:31,336
{\an7}TO EXPERIENCE SOUTHERN CHARM,
\h\h\h\hRICH CULTURAL HISTORY,
537
00:34:31,369 --> 00:34:36,708
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAND, IN THIS CASE,
A SPOOKY CONNECTION TO THE PAST.
538
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:39,844
{\an7}SAVANNAH‘S BONAVENTURE CEMETERY
IS THE TITLE CHARACTER
539
00:34:39,878 --> 00:34:42,447
{\an7}IN AUTHOR JOHN BERENDT‘S
\h\hBEST-SELLING NOVEL,
540
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,350
{\an7}MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN
\h\h\hOF GOOD AND EVIL,
541
00:34:45,383 --> 00:34:49,487
{\an7}WITH THE CEMETERY FEATURED
\h\h\hHEAVILY IN THE PLOT.
542
00:34:49,521 --> 00:34:52,657
{\an7}THE BIRD GIRL SCULPTURE THAT
\h\hGRACES THE BOOK‘S COVER
543
00:34:52,691 --> 00:34:55,394
{\an7}\h\hWAS REMOVED FROM HERE
SHORTLY AFTER PUBLICATION
544
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:59,531
{\an7}AND DONATED TO A LOCAL MUSEUM
TO KEEP IT SAFE FROM TOURISTS.
545
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:02,467
{\an7}BUT OTHER GHOSTLY FIGURES
\h\hCAN STILL BE GLIMPSED
546
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:07,905
{\an7}BETWEEN THE MOURNFUL TREES,
\h\hDRAPED IN SPANISH MOSS.
547
00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:09,908
{\an7}AMONG THE NOTEWORTHY
\h\h\hRESIDENTS HERE
548
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:14,245
{\an7}ARE SONGWRITER JOHNNY MERCER,
\h\h\h\h\hWRITER CONRAD AIKEN,
549
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:17,582
{\an7}AND 6-YEAR-OLD GRACIE WATSON,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hA SAVANNAH GIRL
550
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:22,421
{\an7}WHO DIED OF PNEUMONIA JUST
BEFORE EASTER SUNDAY 1889.
551
00:35:24,456 --> 00:35:26,925
{\an7}ONE NEW ORLEANS MINISTER
\h\h\hWROTE TO HIS WIFE,
552
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:30,762
{\an7}\h"BONAVENTURE CEMETERY IS
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO DIE."
553
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:35,266
{\an7}HE THEN TRAVELED STRAIGHT HERE
\h\h\h\hAND COMMITTED SUICIDE.
554
00:35:37,602 --> 00:35:40,205
{\an7}MANY GHOST HUNTERS CLAIM THAT
\h\h\hTHIS IS THE MOST HAUNTED
555
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:43,675
{\an7}CEMETERY IN THE UNITED STATES.
556
00:35:43,708 --> 00:35:47,212
{\an7}IF ONLY THE SPIRITS COULD TALK,
WHAT TALES THEY WOULD TELL
557
00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:51,616
{\an7}OF 200 DRAMATIC YEARS
\hIN GEORGIA HISTORY.
558
00:35:59,057 --> 00:36:01,593
{\an7}GEORGIA‘S 100-MILE-LONG
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCOASTLINE
559
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:05,029
{\an7}\h\h\hIS ONE OF AMERICA‘S
GREAT NATURAL TREASURES--
560
00:36:05,063 --> 00:36:06,464
{\an7}THE LONGEST UNBROKEN STRETCH OF
561
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:10,302
{\an7}WILD ATLANTIC BEACHFRONT AND
\h\hMARSH ON THE EAST COAST.
562
00:36:10,335 --> 00:36:13,238
{\an7}\hAND THERE‘S NO BETTER WAY
TO TAKE IN ITS RUGGED BEAUTY
563
00:36:13,271 --> 00:36:16,641
{\an7}THAN FROM THE AIR.

SEPARATED FROM THE MAINLAND
566
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:26,217
{\an7}BY DEEP TIDAL INLETS.
567
00:36:26,251 --> 00:36:27,853
{\an7}SOARING OVER THESE ISLANDS
568
00:36:27,886 --> 00:36:31,990
{\an7}\h\h\hIS A JOURNEY INTO
GEORGIA‘S COLONIAL PAST.
569
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:33,725
{\an7}AT THEIR NORTHERNMOST POINT
570
00:36:33,758 --> 00:36:38,463
{\an7}A 150-YEAR-OLD LIGHTHOUSE
\hGUARDS COCKSPUR ISLAND.
571
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:42,701
{\an7}THE COAST PROBABLY LOOKS
MUCH THE SAME AS IT DID
572
00:36:42,734 --> 00:36:44,970
{\an7}WHEN ENGLISH CHAPLAIN
\h\h\h\h\hJOHN WESLEY,
573
00:36:45,003 --> 00:36:46,671
{\an7}ONE OF THE FOUNDERS
\h\h\hOF METHODISM,
574
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:51,143
{\an7}FIRST ARRIVED HERE IN 1736,
\h\hON HIS WAY TO SAVANNAH.
575
00:36:53,378 --> 00:36:56,982
{\an7}LONG AFTER WESLEY SAILED AWAY,
\h\h\h\hTHE ISLAND BECAME HOME
576
00:36:57,015 --> 00:37:01,686
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hTO FORT PULASKI,
BUILT BETWEEN 1829 AND 1847
577
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,122
{\an7}TO PROTECT THE EASTERN SEABOARD.
578
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:11,796
{\an7}THE MOAT SURROUNDING THE FORT IS
BETWEEN 30 AND 48 FEET WIDE
579
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:14,766
{\an7}WITH AN AVERAGE DEPTH OF 8 FEET.
580
00:37:14,799 --> 00:37:17,735
{\an7}TODAY, TURTLES AND ALLIGATORS
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMAKE THEIR HOME
581
00:37:17,769 --> 00:37:20,872
{\an7}JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE.
582
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:23,708
{\an7}WHEN THIS OUTPOST WAS BUILT,
BRICK FORTS WERE CONSIDERED
583
00:37:23,742 --> 00:37:26,445
{\an7}THE BEST FORM OF DEFENSE
\h\h\h\h\hIN THE WORLD.
584
00:37:26,478 --> 00:37:29,781
{\an7}BUT THAT WOULD CHANGE
DURING THE CIVIL WAR.
585
00:37:29,814 --> 00:37:33,551
{\an7}ON APRIL 10, 1862, UNION TROOPS
LAUNCHED THEIR ATTACK
586
00:37:33,585 --> 00:37:38,990
{\an7}ON FORT PULASKI WITH A BRAND NEW
TECHNOLOGY: THE RIFLED CANNON.
587
00:37:39,023 --> 00:37:42,293
{\an7}ABLE TO FIRE LONGER DISTANCES
\h\h\h\hWITH GREATER ACCURACY,
588
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:45,096
{\an7}THIS WEAPONRY COMPLETELY
\h\h\hDOMINATED THE FORT
589
00:37:45,130 --> 00:37:48,767
{\an7}IN A MATTER OF 30 HOURS.
590
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,836
{\an7}THE DAMAGE IS STILL VISIBLE.
591
00:37:51,870 --> 00:37:55,207
{\an7}\h\h\hNOT WANTING TO EXPOSE THE
GARRISON TO FURTHER DESTRUCTION,
592
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,677
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hCONFEDERATE GENERAL
CHARLES OLMSTEAD SURRENDERED.
593
00:37:58,710 --> 00:38:01,746
{\an7}\h\h\h\hNO ONE WOULD EVER
BUILD A BRICK FORT AGAIN.
594
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:06,184
{\an7}NONE OF GEORGIA‘S
\hBARRIER ISLANDS
595
00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:09,520
{\an7}HAS A MORE FASCINATING HISTORY
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHAN THIS ONE--
596
00:38:09,554 --> 00:38:12,657
{\an7}A MORE THAN 5,000-ACRE
\h\h\hWILDLIFE REFUGE
597
00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:17,128
{\an7}NAMED FOR THE WORLD‘S MOST
\h\h\hNOTORIOUS BUCCANEER.
598
00:38:17,162 --> 00:38:20,632
{\an7}THIS IS BLACKBEARD ISLAND.
599
00:38:20,665 --> 00:38:22,667
{\an7}\h\h\hBLACKBEARD WAS KNOWN
TO PLUNDER MERCHANT SHIPS
600
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:26,871
{\an7}\h\hOFF THE GEORGIA COAST
IN THE EARLY 18th CENTURY.
601
00:38:26,905 --> 00:38:29,408
{\an7}LEGEND HAS IT, HE AND HIS MEN
\h\h\h\h\hCAME TO THIS ISLAND
602
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:34,345
{\an7}TO STASH THEIR LOOT AND
HIDE OUT BETWEEN RAIDS.
603
00:38:34,379 --> 00:38:38,350
{\an7}BLACKBEARD‘S CAREER CAME
TO A GRISLY END IN 1718,
604
00:38:38,383 --> 00:38:42,921
{\an7}WHEN HE DIED IN A BLOODY BATTLE
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
605
00:38:42,954 --> 00:38:47,025
{\an7}IT‘S SAID HIS HEADLESS GHOST
\h\hSTILL WALKS THIS ISLAND,
606
00:38:47,058 --> 00:38:50,261
{\an7}GUARDING HIS BURIED TREASURE.
607
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:57,402
{\an7}\h\h\hIN 1800, THE U.S. NAVY
PURCHASED BLACKBEARD ISLAND
608
00:38:57,435 --> 00:39:00,305
{\an7}AS A SOURCE OF LUMBER
\h\hFOR SHIPBUILDING.
609
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,675
{\an7}THEN, IN 1880, IT BECAME
\h\hA QUARANTINE STATION
610
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:07,745
{\an7}TO MONITOR INCOMING SAILORS
\h\h\h\h\hFOR YELLOW FEVER.
611
00:39:07,779 --> 00:39:10,515
{\an7}\h\h\h\hA FEW YEARS EARLIER,
THIS MOSQUITO-BORNE DISEASE
612
00:39:10,548 --> 00:39:12,583
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hHAD REACHED
EPIDEMIC PROPORTIONS,
613
00:39:12,617 --> 00:39:17,288
{\an7}KILLING 1,000 PEOPLE
\hIN SAVANNAH ALONE.
614
00:39:17,322 --> 00:39:20,125
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hTHE ISLAND IS NOW
A NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE,
615
00:39:20,158 --> 00:39:22,594
{\an7}PROVIDING SAFE HAVEN
FOR MIGRATORY BIRDS
616
00:39:22,627 --> 00:39:26,498
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\hAND ENDANGERED
LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES.
617
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,672
{\an7}SOME 10 MILES AWAY
618
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:38,376
{\an7}IS THE MOST REMOTE AND DESOLATE
OF GEORGIA‘S COASTAL JEWELS--
619
00:39:38,409 --> 00:39:41,379
{\an7}LITTLE ST. SIMON‘S ISLAND.
620
00:39:41,412 --> 00:39:46,183
{\an7}IT‘S LUCKY TO HAVE SURVIVED
IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION.
621
00:39:46,217 --> 00:39:49,353
{\an7}IN 1908, NEW YORK‘S
EAGLE PENCIL COMPANY
622
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:51,589
{\an7}\h\hPURCHASED THIS
10,000-ACRE ISLAND
623
00:39:51,623 --> 00:39:55,994
{\an7}WITH THE INTENTION OF HARVESTING
ITS VAST RED CEDAR FORESTS.
624
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:01,232
{\an7}\h\hBUT AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT,
THE WOOD HERE WAS TOO DAMAGED
625
00:40:01,266 --> 00:40:04,770
{\an7}\hBY SALT AND WIND
FOR PENCIL MAKING.
626
00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:07,338
{\an7}BY THE TIME EAGLE WAS READY
\h\h\h\h\hTO CALL IT QUITS,
627
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:10,876
{\an7}THE COMPANY‘S OWNER HAD FALLEN
\h\h\hIN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE
628
00:40:10,909 --> 00:40:13,912
{\an7}AND BOUGHT IT FOR HIMSELF.
629
00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:15,847
{\an7}THE ISLAND REMAINS
\h\hIN HIS FAMILY,
630
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,251
{\an7}UNDEVELOPED AND ACCESSIBLE
\h\h\h\h\h\hONLY BY BOAT.
631
00:40:20,285 --> 00:40:23,522
{\an7}TO HELP PROTECT ITS UNSPOILED
\h\h\h\h\h\hWILDLIFE HABITATS,
632
00:40:23,554 --> 00:40:26,857
{\an7}ONLY 32 VISITORS ARE ALLOWED
\h\h\hON LITTLE ST. SIMON‘S
633
00:40:26,891 --> 00:40:29,127
{\an7}AT ANY ONE TIME.
634
00:40:31,763 --> 00:40:35,467
{\an7}JEKYLL ISLAND, ON THE OTHER
HAND, IS A TOURIST PARADISE,
635
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:38,703
{\an7}\h\hITS COASTS LINED
WITH VACATION HOMES.
636
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:43,908
{\an7}THE ISLAND WAS FIRST DEVELOPED
\h\h\h\h\h\hIN THE LATE 1800s
637
00:40:43,942 --> 00:40:46,344
{\an7}AS A WINTER RESORT FOR
NORTHERN BUSINESSMEN,
638
00:40:46,377 --> 00:40:48,846
{\an7}LIKE J.P. MORGAN,
\hJOSEPH PULITZER,
639
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,518
{\an7}\hAND WILLIAM VANDERBILT, WHO
BUILT ELABORATE ESTATES HERE.
640
00:40:54,585 --> 00:40:56,053
{\an7}\h\hTHEY WERE AMONG
THE CHARTER MEMBERS
641
00:40:56,087 --> 00:40:59,424
{\an7}OF THE JEKYLL ISLAND CLUB,
DESCRIBED AS "THE RICHEST,
642
00:40:59,457 --> 00:41:04,996
{\an7}\h\hTHE MOST EXCLUSIVE, THE MOST
INACCESSIBLE CLUB IN THE WORLD."
643
00:41:05,029 --> 00:41:06,731
{\an7}TODAY, THE CLUBHOUSE
\hHAS BEEN RENOVATED
644
00:41:06,764 --> 00:41:09,300
{\an7}INTO A LUXURIOUS HOTEL.
645
00:41:09,334 --> 00:41:12,270
{\an7}\h\h\hTHE BUILDING IS STEEPED IN
THE GRANDEUR OF THE GILDED AGE,
646
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:13,504
{\an7}AND THE GROUNDS ARE HOME
647
00:41:13,538 --> 00:41:16,741
{\an7}TO A TOURNAMENT-LEVEL
\h\h\h\hCROQUET GREEN.
648
00:41:20,578 --> 00:41:23,514
{\an7}\h\h\hTHE LARGEST JEWEL IN
GEORGIA‘S COASTAL NECKLACE
649
00:41:23,548 --> 00:41:27,786
{\an7}IS CUMBERLAND ISLAND, KNOWN FOR
ITS PRISTINE MARITIME FORESTS,
650
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:31,823
{\an7}\hLUSH MARSHES, AND
UNDEVELOPED BEACHES.
651
00:41:31,856 --> 00:41:35,827
{\an7}SPANISH EXPLORERS FIRST
\hARRIVED HERE IN 1566,
652
00:41:35,860 --> 00:41:38,663
{\an7}NAMING THE ISLAND SAN PEDRO.
653
00:41:38,696 --> 00:41:42,633
{\an7}OVER THE NEXT 100 YEARS, THEY
BUILT FORTS AND MISSIONS HERE.
654
00:41:42,667 --> 00:41:45,570
{\an7}BUT BY THE TIME ENGLISH GENERAL
JAMES OGLETHORPE ARRIVED
655
00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:49,674
{\an7}IN 1736, THE SPANIARDS
\h\h\h\h\h\hWERE GONE.
656
00:41:58,683 --> 00:42:02,554
{\an7}IN 1955, THE NATIONAL PARK
\hSERVICE NAMED THE ISLAND
657
00:42:02,587 --> 00:42:06,691
{\an7}\h\h\h\hONE OF THE BEST COASTAL
RECREATION AREAS IN THE COUNTRY.
658
00:42:06,724 --> 00:42:09,327
{\an7}BUT WHILE MUCH OF THE ISLAND‘S
\h\h\h\h\hUNTOUCHED COASTLINE
659
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,696
{\an7}LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
FROM ANOTHER WORLD,
660
00:42:11,729 --> 00:42:14,365
{\an7}LIFELESS IT IS NOT.
661
00:42:18,469 --> 00:42:22,006
{\an7}LEGEND HAS IT THAT WILD PONIES
\h\hLIKE THESE HAVE BEEN HERE
662
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,676
{\an7}AS FAR BACK AS THE 16th CENTURY,
663
00:42:24,709 --> 00:42:28,279
{\an7}THE LEGACY OF ITS EARLIEST
\h\h\h\hSPANISH SETTLERS.
664
00:42:35,053 --> 00:42:41,026
{\an7}LOOK FROM ABOVE, AND YOU CAN
ALSO SEE A HUMAN FOOTPRINT,
665
00:42:41,059 --> 00:42:44,329
{\an7}OR AT LEAST THE REMAINS OF ONE.
666
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:50,201
{\an7}\hDUNGENESS MANSION WAS
BUILT BY THOMAS CARNEGIE
667
00:42:50,234 --> 00:42:54,872
{\an7}\h\hAS A WINTER RETREAT FOR
HIS WIFE AND NINE CHILDREN.
668
00:42:54,906 --> 00:42:56,307
{\an7}IN ITS HEYDAY,
669
00:42:56,340 --> 00:42:59,210
{\an7}THIS SCOTTISH-STYLE CASTLE
WAS THE HEIGHT OF EXCESS,
670
00:42:59,243 --> 00:43:03,481
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\hBOASTING 59 ROOMS,
SWIMMING POOLS, A GOLF COURSE,
671
00:43:03,514 --> 00:43:06,550
{\an7}AND A STAFF OF 200 SERVANTS.
672
00:43:08,052 --> 00:43:11,255
{\an7}THE CARNEGIES LEFT THE ISLAND
\h\hAFTER THE GREAT DEPRESSION
673
00:43:11,289 --> 00:43:14,459
{\an7}AND IN 1959, A SUSPICIOUS FIRE
674
00:43:14,492 --> 00:43:19,130
{\an7}TURNED THE ONCE GLORIOUS MANSION
INTO RUBBLE.
675
00:43:28,773 --> 00:43:31,676
{\an7}\hABOUT 50 MILES INLAND
FROM THE GEORGIA COAST,
676
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:35,413
{\an7}\hWATER MEETS EARTH
IN A DRAMATIC DANCE.
677
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:41,853
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTHIS IS
THE 402,000-ACRE SWAMPLAND
678
00:43:41,886 --> 00:43:45,123
{\an7}KNOWN AS THE OKEFENOKEE--
\h\hA NATIVE AMERICAN TERM
679
00:43:45,156 --> 00:43:49,794
{\an7}\h\h\hMEANING "THE LAND
OF THE TREMBLING EARTH."
680
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:54,098
{\an7}SURE ENOUGH, SOFT PEAT DEPOSITS,
SOME UP TO 15 FEET DEEP,
681
00:43:54,132 --> 00:43:56,067
{\an7}COVER THE REGION.
682
00:43:56,100 --> 00:44:00,504
{\an7}JUMP UP AND DOWN IN SOME PLACES
AND THE TREES AROUND YOU SHAKE.
683
00:44:03,508 --> 00:44:08,279
{\an7}\h\h\h\hIT‘S THE LARGEST INTACT
WETLAND SWAMP IN NORTH AMERICA.
684
00:44:08,312 --> 00:44:11,582
{\an7}FOR DECADES, INDUSTRY EXPLOITED
THE SWAMP‘S RESOURCES,
685
00:44:11,616 --> 00:44:14,385
{\an7}PLUNDERING ITS FORESTS
\h\h\h\h\hFOR LUMBER.
686
00:44:14,418 --> 00:44:17,254
{\an7}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBUT IN 1936,
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT STEPPED IN
687
00:44:17,288 --> 00:44:21,692
{\an7}TO PROTECT THIS WONDROUS PLACE
\h\h\h\h\h\hAND ITS WILDLIFE.
688
00:44:21,726 --> 00:44:25,530
{\an7}\h\hTODAY, THE OKEFENOKEE IS
THE EPITOME OF WILD GEORGIA
689
00:44:25,563 --> 00:44:30,068
{\an7}AND A CELEBRATION OF NATURE‘S
\h\hVICTORY OVER HUMAN GREED.
690
00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:39,811
{\an7}FROM ITS WILD SWAMPS,
TO ITS HIGHEST PEAKS,
691
00:44:39,844 --> 00:44:42,380
{\an7}DOWN ITS FREE-SPIRITED COAST,
692
00:44:42,413 --> 00:44:46,150
{\an7}\hGEORGIA IS A STATE AS
RICH IN NATURAL WONDERS
693
00:44:46,184 --> 00:44:49,421
{\an7}AS IT IS IN ITS SPAN OF HISTORY.
694
00:44:49,453 --> 00:44:52,489
{\an7}\h\hFROM THE SITE OF
AN ANCIENT MYSTERY,
695
00:44:52,523 --> 00:44:55,526
{\an7}TO KEY BATTLEFIELDS OF
\h\h\h\hTHE CIVIL WAR,
696
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,763
{\an7}\hTO CITIES AND TOWNS
DECIMATED BY CONFLICT
697
00:44:58,796 --> 00:45:01,432
{\an7}AND ECONOMIC HARD TIMES.
698
00:45:01,465 --> 00:45:04,935
{\an7}\h\h\h\hTHROUGH IT ALL,
GEORGIA HAS PERSEVERED,
699
00:45:04,969 --> 00:45:09,006
{\an7}PRODUCING GREAT WRITERS,
\h\h\h\h\h\hA PRESIDENT,

{\an7}THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN.
702
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:19,284
{\an7}IT‘S EASY TO SEE WHY GEORGIA
\h\h\h\hHAS EARNED THE TITLE
703
00:45:19,317 --> 00:45:23,321
{\an7}"THE EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH."
