Milledgeville: Printed by Grantland & Orme [n.d.] With the exception of the map, preliminary leaves and index (p. [217]-298) "the book... is a true and correct reprint of the original." The section of the state including these lands, Musogee, Troup, Coweta, Lee and Carroll counties, was ceded by the Indian Springs treaty of Feb. 12, 1825, which was not ratified.
