Mobly's Pond transformed into a productive field and pasture

W. W. Brana extols draining Mobly's Pond in 1848 Georgia, describing four miles of center ditching, multiple spring ditches, and peat conversion to corn and grass. He praises Irish ditchers, notes extensive drainage, pasture yields, and a tranquil landscape rivaling New England meadows, framing the project as public health and economic progress.
