- Caption
- GA – Ogeechee River. These extensive fields just south of Savannah are steeped in history. Maybe most notable is that Darien (to the south) was burned in 1863 by the African American 54th Massachusetts Volunteers. In the very far distance is Henry Ford's plantation. –Description from photographer, David Soliday.
