 PREFACE 
 
 ''HISTORIC AUGUSTA," has been 
 written in response to the demand for a 
 concise historical sketch of Auj^usta. Its 
 ])uq30se is to describe the landmarks, 
 monuments, and points of interest, in 
 such a way that a stranger will feel that 
 Augusta is something more than a name 
 — a live, up-to-date Southern city, rich in 
 historical associations. 
 
 It is the hope of the author that these 
 pages will help awaken a further interest in 
 the history of Augusta, and that her citizens 
 may fully appreciate the significance of 
 the part she has played in the history of 
 our country. 
 
 Atigustus Wilfrid Dcllqucst. 
 
THE city of Aupjusta, Ga., was named in honor 
 of the royal Princess Augusta. It was laid 
 out in 1735 by direction of General Ogle- 
 Settlement thorpe. About 135 miles above the mouth of the 
 Savannah River was the colonial Fort Augusta. Under 
 the protection of the garrison, the rude cabins of the 
 pioneers were built. Fifteen years later, after St. 
 Paul's Church was erected, the town became an impor- 
 tant trading post. 
 
 Augusta was a strategic position througliout the 
 American Revolution. When the war was over, and 
 a free and independent nation declared, Augusta once 
 more settled down to peaceful pursuits. 
 
 For more than half a century the town enjoyed an 
 Develop- increase in population and prosperity; and being so 
 ment favorably located, rapidly grew into one of the largest 
 
 and most important cities of Georgia. In 1861, upon 
 the outbreak of the Civil War, Georgia joined her 
 sister states and fought for the cause of the Confed- 
 eracy. During the four years of the Civil War, 
 Augusta, though herself unscarred by the ravages of 
 war, played an important part among the cities of the 
 South. After struggling through the effects of so 
 desolating a war, Augusta began her period of recon- 
 struction. 
 
 Henceforth the city had many years of uninter- 
 rupted peace, and experienced great industrial and 
 commercial growth. Augusta is to-day the second 
 largest inland cotton market in the world, and has a 
 national reputation as a winter resort. 
 
 Playing so significant a role in the history of her 
 country, Augusta possesses many monuments and 
 historic places which are reminders of the glorious 
 events of past years. 
 
 About ten miles from Augusta is the private burial 
 Old Twigg's gr(nnid of the Twiggs family. In this historic cemetery 
 Burial He buried two distinguished soldiers — General David 
 
 Ground Emanuel Twiggs, a hero of the Mexican and Civil 
 
 wars, and General John Twiggs, a valiant Revolution- 
 ary officer. General David E. Twiggs was awarded 
 a jeweled sword by Congress for his bravery in the 
 war with Mexico. At the beginning of the Civil War 
 he joined the Confederate Army, and fought for the 
 
cause of the South. A short inscription appears on 
 each tombstone. 
 
 East of Augusta, near Sand Bar Ferry, is the Old 
 Old Dueling DueHng Ground. Duels were fought here during the 
 Ground ante-bellum days. The place is now of interest as the 
 
 reminder of a custom long since gone. 
 
 Just across the Savannah River is the village of 
 
 First R. R. Hamburg, S. C. In 1833 the first steam railroad in 
 
 in America America was completed, and in operation between 
 
 Hamburg and Charleston, S. C. During the Civil 
 
 War the road was used for the transportation of troops 
 
 and supplies. 
 
 At the lower end of Reynolds Street, in the rear of 
 
 Fort Corn- where old St. Paul's Episcopal Church stood, is a 
 
 wallis monument which marks the site of the colonial Fort 
 
 Monument Augusta, known throughout the Revolution as Fort 
 
 Cornwallis. When the colonies were fighting for 
 
 independence, many sharp skirmishes ensued around 
 
 Fort Cornwallis. The monument consists of a large 
 
 Celtic cross, made of granite. At the base lies an 
 
 old cannon, probably the most historic relic in Augusta, 
 
 which was part of the original armament of the fort. 
 
 About this site the town of Augusta was settled, and 
 
 eventually developed into the beautiful and flourishing 
 
 city of to-day. 
 
 In front of the monument stood historic St. Paul's 
 Old St. Episcopal Church, erected in 1750; rebuilt in 1786, 
 
 Paul's and again in 18 19. St. Paul's was the oldest edifice 
 
 in Augusta. Around it were enacted stirring events 
 of the Revolution. It was used alternately as a bar- 
 racks and hospital for the British and American troops. 
 At one time the interior of the church was nearly 
 destroyed by the fire of an American cannon. Lieu- 
 tenant-General Leonidas Polk, Bishop of Louisiana, 
 and "soldier-priest of the Confederacy," is buried 
 beneath a sanctuary of St. Paul's. This historic old 
 landmark was destroyed when the conflagration of 
 March 22, 19 16, left a large part of the city in ashes. 
 Since the destruction of Old St. Paul's, a new church 
 has been erected, modeled after the design of the 
 original one. 
 
 The burial ground of St. Paul's was once a blood- 
 stained battlefield, but is now a peaceful city of the 
 
dead. The remains of many famous persons lie buried 
 St. Paul's there. An interesting grave is that of Marshall For- 
 Burial syth, a Revolutionary soldier. He was a member of 
 
 Ground the Order of Cincinnati, a famous patriotic society, 
 
 founded in the latter part of the eighteenth century. 
 The insignia of the society are on his tombstone. A 
 nephew of George Washington lies buried in this ceme- 
 tery. Here also are the graves of Oliver Bowen and 
 William Longstreet. Bowen was a commodore in 
 the American Navy of the Revolution. Longstreet 
 is said to have operated successfully a steamboat on 
 the Savannah River prior to the latmching of the 
 "Clearmont" bv Robert Fulton. 
 
 " Old Saint Paul's" 
 
 Near the present location of the Cotton Exchange 
 Mayhan once stood the old Mayhan Tower. When Fort Corn- 
 
 Tower wallis and St. Paul's Parish were in possession of tjie 
 
 British, the Americans built the tower of logs, and upon 
 the summit movmted a six-inch cannon. By this 
 means, they were able to rake the interior of the 
 enemy's garrison with a deadly fire. 
 
At the corner of Broad and Center streets stands a 
 
 Old Market large stone column, once part of the Old Market. 
 
 Site After the Civil War, the market was destroyed by a 
 
 tornado, leaving but a single pillar to mark the site. 
 
 In front of St. James Church, at the lower end of 
 
 Confederate Greene Street, is a cenotaph erected to the memory of 
 
 Cenotaph those members of the Sunday school who were slain 
 
 in the Civil War. The shaft of the cenotaph is of 
 
 granite. The cost of erecting the memorial was over 
 
 $5,400. 
 
 Directly in front of the court house, on Greene 
 
 Signer's Street, is a tall stone obelisk in honor of George Walton, 
 
 Monument Lyman Hall, and Button Gwinnett, the Georgia signers 
 
 of the Declaration of Independence. It was erected 
 
 by the State in 1848. Beneath it are interred the 
 
 ashes of George Walton and Lyman Hall. 
 
 Opposite the Signers' Monument is the Richmond 
 Court County Court House, built in 1820. Henry Clay 
 
 House delivered an oration there, and many prominent men 
 
 have practiced within its walls. In 1896, the court 
 house was remodeled and enlarged, thereby making 
 it one of the handsomest and largest court houses in 
 the State. 
 
 The Academy of Richmond County, on the 500 
 Academy of block of Telfair Street, is the oldest institution of 
 Richmond learning in Georgia. It was founded in 1783, by order 
 County of General Oglethorpe. When George Washington 
 
 made his memorable visit to Augusta on May 18, 1791, 
 a ball was given in his honor at the Richmond Acad- 
 emy. He afterward attended a public examination 
 held there. So impressed was the great chieftain by 
 the excellence of the work, that he gave autographed 
 books to the students as prizes. When the Civil War 
 broke out, the Academy was converted into a hospital 
 by the Confederate Government. Former Governor 
 William H. Crawford was a member of the faculty. 
 Few high schools or colleges can boast of a greater 
 number of distinguished members of their alumni than 
 can the Richmond Academy. The school now covers 
 nearly an entire block and embraces, besides the 
 original structure, a technical building and a dormi- 
 tory. Plans for the erection of a new auditorium 
 building have been made. 
 
The old Medical College, a branch of the University 
 Old of Georgia, is at the corner of Washington and Telfair 
 
 Medical streets, not more than half a block from the Academy. 
 
 College This medical school had the distinction of Ijeing the 
 
 oldest in Georgia. It was founded in 1828 by Dr. 
 Milton Antony, an eminent ph\'sician, whose grave is 
 in front of the college building. After the com]:)letion 
 of the new University Hospital, the old Medical Col- 
 lege and the former hospital building became a part 
 of the Richmond Academy. 
 
 A block to the west of this edifice is the First Pres- 
 
 First byterian Church, founded in 1804. During the Civil 
 
 Presbyterian War, it was utilized as a military hospital. For twelve 
 
 Church years Dr. Jos. R. Wilson, father of President Woodrow 
 
 Wilson, was pastor of the church. During that time, 
 
 President Wilson spent a part of his boyhood days in 
 
 Augusta. In front of the Sunday school building is 
 
 a life-size statue of Rev. Robert Irvine, a noted divine, 
 
 for many years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. 
 
 Rev. Irvine lies buried in front of the church which he 
 
 so faithfully served. 
 
 From 1 786 T 796, Augusta was the capital of Georgia. 
 Capital The state house was situated on the east side of 
 
 Site Mcintosh Street, between Broad and Ellis. Four 
 
 governors held office in Augusta. The State Legis- 
 lature met there at irregular intervals during the period 
 of the Revolution. 
 
 One of the finest monuments in the South is the 
 Confederate monument to the Confederate dead, at the middle of 
 Monument Broad Street between Mcintosh and Jackson streets. 
 This beautiful tribute was erected in 1878 by the 
 Ladies' Memorial Association at a cost of over $17,000. 
 The shaft is of Italian marble, and towers to a height 
 of about eighty-five feet. On the comers of the shaft 
 are the life-size statues of Generals Robert E. Lee, 
 " Stonewall" Jackson, William Walker, and Thomas 
 Cobb. Above the statues and upon the i)innacle is the 
 figure (jf a Confederate sentinel leaning upon his 
 musket and gazing ahead. Appropriate inscrii^tions 
 are on each side. The monument is a model of excellent 
 workmanship. It is admired by all as a fitting tribute 
 to the soldiers of the Confederacy, and stands as an 
 evidence of the untiring efforts of the women of the 
 South.

Colonel Samuel Hammond, member of Congress, 
 Hammond and a distinguished officer of the Revolution, is honored 
 Monument by a small monument located on the 700 block of 
 
 Greene Street, between Washington and Mcintosh. 
 
 It was erected by the Daughters of the American 
 
 Revolution. A bronze bust of Colonel Hammond 
 
 is on the top. 
 
 On the 800 block of Greene Street, near Jackson 
 Four Poets' Street, stands the Four Poets' Monument. It was 
 Monument presented to the city of Augusta in 19 13 by Anna 
 Russell Cole. This monument was erected in memory 
 of James R. Randall, Sydney Lanier, Father Ryan, and 
 Paul Hamilton Hayne, four noted poets of Georgia. 
 They will always be remembered as gifted contributors 
 to American literature. A selected verse from their 
 poems appears on each side of the monument. 
 
 In the beautiful Barrett Plaza, in front of the Union 
 
 Monument Passenger Station, is a statue of Hon. Patrick Walsh. 
 
 to Patrick Patrick Walsh was one of Augusta's greatest citizens. 
 
 Walsh He was United vStates Senator, Mayor of the city, and 
 
 for many years editor of the Augusta Chronicle. 
 
 At the east side of Barrett Plaza is the new Post Office 
 Building, one of the finest in the country. 
 
 On the 1200 block of Greene Street is a handsome 
 
 Richard monument, erected in honor of the famous poet, 
 
 Henry Richard Henry Wilde. His poem, " My Life is Like the 
 
 Wilde Summer Rose," has been considered one of the most 
 
 Monument beautiful poems of our literature. Had Wilde written 
 
 but this one poem, it alone would be sufficient to 
 
 perpetuate his name, and secure for him a place in 
 
 the galaxy of immortal poets. He was noted for the 
 
 purity of his verses, their ringing rhythm, and striking 
 
 literary merit. The memorial is very fitting indeed, 
 
 and stands as a reminder of the excellency of the 
 
 literary productions of the South. A verse from "My 
 
 Life is Like the Summer Rose," is on one side of the 
 
 monument : 
 
 " My life is like the summer rose 
 That opens to the morning sky. 
 But ere the shades of evening close 
 Is scattered on the ground to die." 
 
There is probably no place in Augusta of greater 
 Meadow historical interest than the Meadow Garden, former 
 
 Garden home of Governor Walton. George Washington used 
 
 the Meadow Garden for his headquarters while in 
 Augusta. The Daughters of the American Revolution 
 have preserved this old landmark, cared for it, and 
 converted it into a museum of colonial relics. George 
 Walton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, 
 and Governor of Georgia, lived there for many years. 
 Meadow Garden is located west of Thirteenth Street, 
 near the canal, surrounded by mills and factories. 
 
 "Although Georgia was not represented in the First 
 White Continental Congress, yet her children were not less 
 
 House alive to the teachings of liberty." The spirit of inde- 
 
 i:)endence flourished in the vicinity of Augusta. The 
 building known as the " White House," still standing 
 on upper Broad Street, was the scene of a fierce 
 skirmish between the colonial patriots and the British. 
 
 In 1780 both forts at Augusta were in possession of 
 the British. Colonel Elijah Clark and Major Samuel 
 Taylor, with a force of about four hundred plucky 
 Americans, made an attempt to drive the English 
 troops from Augusta. Major Taylor surprised a party 
 of Indians, who promptly retreated to the " White 
 House," supported by a detachment of British troops. 
 
 Unaware of the presence of Clark, the English offi- 
 cers. Brown and Grierson, left the two forts and has- 
 tened to the " White House " to capture Taylor. In 
 the meanwhile Colonel Clark took possession of the 
 forts. Leaving a guard at those places, Clark hurried 
 to the " White House" to assist Taylor. The American 
 troops began to storm this building in an attempt 
 to dislodge the enemy. 
 
 For nearly three days a steady fire was trained u])on 
 
 Siege of the stronghold. At length the Indians assisting 
 
 the White Colonel Brown were repulsed, and it appeared that 
 
 House the British would be compelled to surrender due to 
 
 lack of water. Just when a victory for Clark seemed 
 
 imminent, a force of 500 British regulars arrived 
 
 at the scene. The besiegers were soon forced to retreat 
 
 to the mountains. Brown taking over twenty-five 
 
 American prisoners. 
 
 15 
 
He and the Indians then proceeded to gratify their 
 Massacre desire for revenge upon the unfortunates. Captain 
 of the Ashby and twelve wounded Americans were merci- 
 
 Prisoners lessly hanged upon a stairway of the " White House," 
 while Brown and the Indians looked on. Other pris- 
 oners were turned over to the Indians to torture. 
 "Terrible were the demoniac acts at Augusta bn that 
 beautiful auttimnal day, when the white and the 
 red savage contended for the meed of cruelty." 
 
 In front of the John P. King mill, near the canal, is 
 
 Old Powder an old brick powder chimney, once part of one of the 
 
 Chimney largest powder plants in America. During the Civil 
 
 War, this factory mainly supplied the Confederate 
 
 Army with powder. A tablet has been placed in the 
 
 side of this chimney which tells its history. 
 
 Not far from the old chimney, near the Riverside 
 Site of mills, is the site of the colonial Fort Grierson, of which 
 
 Ft. Grierson no vestige remains. This fort, together with Fort 
 
 Cornwallis, composed the revolutionary defense of 
 
 the city. 
 
 When the steamship "Titanic" was sunk, with over 
 
 Butt a thousand men, women, and children on board, many 
 
 Memorial of the men stepped aside in obedience to the unwritten 
 
 Bridge law of the sea. Among these was Major Archibald W. 
 
 Butt, military aide to President Taft, and a citizen of 
 
 Augusta. In his honor a splendid memorial bridge has 
 
 been built by his fellow citizens. The bridge spans 
 
 the canal at Fifteenth Street, near Greene Street. 
 
 In the immediate vicinity of the Butt Memorial 
 Cahill Bridge is a monument erected in honor of Dennis 
 
 Monument Cahill. Dennis Cahill was drowned in the canal while 
 attempting to save the life of another. 
 
 In North Augusta, S. C, east of Carolina Avenue, 
 is a monument erected in 19 16 in memory of Thomas 
 McKie Meriwether. Yotmg Meriwether was slain in 
 the Hamburg riot. He died defending the principles 
 of the South, during the tumultuous period of recon- 
 struction. 
 
 On the Hill, or Summerville, is the United States 
 Arsenal, established in 1827, during the administration 
 of President Adams. When Georgia seceded from the 
 Union, the Arsenal was seized by the Confederate 
 
 16

authorities. The site was chosen by the Government 
 for an arsenal because of the dryness of the atmosphere, 
 and the great advantaj^^e with which guns and i^owder 
 can be stored. The Augusta Arsenal is the only arsenal 
 south of Philadelphia and cast of San Antonio. 
 
 A short distance from the arsenal, on Monte Sane 
 Chateau Avenue, is the large mansion known as Chateau Le 
 
 Le Vert Vert. It was the home of Mme. Octavia Walton 
 
 Le Vert, a famous traveler and authoress. Madame 
 Le Vert was granddaughter of Governor George 
 Walton, signer of the Declaration of Independence. 
 She was a woman of extraordinary abilities; a learned 
 linguist and widely known throughout America and 
 Europe by famous persons. Her body lies buried in 
 the private cemetery at the arsenal. A modest tomb- 
 stone with a short inscription marks her grave. 
 
 To the rear of Wheless railroad station, on the road, 
 
 McKinley running through Camp Hancock to the Hill, is a granite 
 
 Marker marker, placed by the citizens of Richmond County, 
 
 at the spot where President McKinley alighted from 
 
 the train, upon his visit to Augusta. 
 
 Among the famous persons born, or formerly residing 
 
 Gen. Joseph in Augusta, it is a])propriate to mention General 
 
 Wheeler Joseph Wheeler. General Wheeler was distinguished 
 
 for his undaunted bravery and remarkable military 
 
 career. He was born a few miles west of the city, in 
 
 the territory now known as Aumond. 
 
 The old Whitney Place is a short distance from 
 Old Whitney Augusta. It is a monument to the industrial progress 
 Place of the nation. It was there where Eli Whitney oper- 
 
 ated the first cotton gin. By the invention of the 
 cotton gin he revolutionized the chief factor in the 
 ui)building of the Southern States. A memorial 
 tablet in memory of Whitney has been placed within 
 the walls of the Richmond County Court House. 
 
 South of Augusta is Richmond Hill, the former home 
 of William Schley. Schley was governor of Georgia 
 and a noted statesman. 
 
 The former home of Paul Hamilton Hayne, the dis- 
 
 Copse Hill tinguished poet, is known as Copse Hill, about fourteen 
 
 miles from the city, near Grovetown. Here he com- 
 
 17 
 
posed his delightful verses, which have since made him 
 famous as "Am,erica's greatest lyric poet." His son 
 William Hamilton Hayne, now residing in Augusta, is 
 also a poet of national reputation. 
 
 The cemeteries of Augusta contain many historic 
 Cemeteries graves. In the City Cemetery lie buried James R. 
 of Augusta Randall, Richard Henry Wilde, and Paul Hamilton 
 Hayne. Randall wrote the stirring poem, " Maryland, 
 My Maryland." Richard Henry Wilde, poet, orator, 
 statesman, and author of " My Life is Like the Summer 
 Rose," is spoken of above. Paul Hamilton Hayne lies 
 buried near Randall and Wilde. 
 
 In the Summerville Cemetery, on the Hill, two 
 former governors of Georgia lie buried — Charles Jenkins 
 and John Milledge. The grave of Charles C. Jones, 
 Jr., the learned historian, is also here.

 one of the founders of the Richmond Academy. 
 
 William Glascock's son, Thomas Glascock, lies buried 
 at his home, known as the "Mills," some few miles 
 north of Augusta. Thomas Glascock was a brigadier- 
 general in the Colonial Army. 
 
 These historic landmarks are a source of interest 
 to every visitor of Augusta. But there are still other 
 places which add to the charm of the city. 
 
 Two of the large tourist hotels of Augusta are located 
 Tourist on the Hill — the Bon Air Hotel and the Partridge Inn. 
 
 Hotels These hotels are splendidly located and each winter 
 
 attract many 'tourists, who annually choose Augusta

 The Augtista Chronicle, established in 1785, is the 
 oldest newspaper in the South. Many prominent 
 men have filled its editorial chair. 
 
 The fame of Augusta as a health resort has increased 
 yearly. Without a doubt, advantages enjoyed by few 
 cities, are found in the "Tourist City of the South."
