Moving Through Georgia Jersey Jim

Georgia history stories will start again the first week of June- we'll talk about the chain gang, the Peachtree bandit, and a few moonshiners.  For now, though, let's detour to nearby Cleveland Tennesee and meet a family with (maybe) a stain in their past, a ghost cat, and a haunted railroad bridge.
 
I'll be doing a live show at the Banks County Library on June 5 at 2:00!  You are welcome to bring and share a story from Banks County, or just enjoy listening!

A short history of the Georgia Air Line Railroad and a few of the cities that were formed in it's wake.  Then, a preacher and engineer survives a wreck just outside Toccoa.
 
LIVE SHOW:  Saturday April 13th - Sweet Southern Creations, 1363 Washington St in Clarkesville, across from the theater.  Staring at 3:00, an hour of true crime and mystery from Habersham County’s past.  This is all new material, different from the ghost tours.  No charge, just good coffee, pastry, and stories.
The Moving Through Georgia book is available on Amazon.
 
But they are dead - A look at mourning and notable burials in Northeast Georgia

An April Fools episode where we deviate from Georgia history into the world of income tax protest- today I'll explain that you don't need to fill out your 1040 form.
 
Actually I'll explain some reason people have used to avoid the income tax and ways they've failed.  It's a fun look into the legal maneuverings that come up every April 15th.

This episode has it all- true crime, the supernatural, a trial, and a movie with Johnny Cash!  This week we look at a murder that was later portrayed in a book, then a 1982 made-for-tv movie with Johnny Cash and Andy Griffith.  Watch it first if you want, but if you don't I'll warn you before the real spoilers start.
