“Rediscover America! What Do
You Know About the Indians That
Once Inhabited Dixie?” was the ti
tle of the advertisement inserted in
the Asheville Times.
The subject matter was as fol
lows:
“You should see Eagle Rock, or
Rock Eagle, near Eatonton, Ga.,
which'is a vast monument of stones,
piled or arranged in the form of an
Eagle prone on the earth. It
measures 100 feet long and is re
markably true to form.
“Indian Springs, just south of
Jackson, Georgia, was a favorite re
sort for Indians. It is now a State
Park, well improved, its medicinal
spring water free to all.
“The Ocmulgee National Monu
ment (Indian Mounds) at Macon is
rapidly becoming a shrine for those
interested in the pre-history of the
Indian people. Owned and devel
oped by the National Park Service,
a Museum Building is under con
struction, which will house thou
sands of relics, pot sherds and uten
sils once used by the Indians.
“You should see these interest
ing spots, all are free, and you are
welcome.”
