Lee County History and Old Georgia Oak Lore
A fragment from Macon News recalls the first Lee Superior Court held under oaks in Pope fields, near the Indian town Chileaw, with notes on the Creek nation, a mound of bones, and early county expansion. It mentions Judge Colquitt, Muscogee court, and local figures like Jasper N. Bryan, plus era anecdotes of soldiers and frontier life.
