Trans Oconee Republic
Even though Elijah Clarke's short lived independent state of 1794 did not include modern day Oconee County, it is always an interesting look back at our history. There is a talk tonight by Steve Scurry at Cine' that might touch on this: Steve Scurry is giving a presentation this Sunday, April 27, called "Defending the Beloved Land." He will be reporting on his latest findings about the Oconee War, a little known conflict between the Creek Nation and early White settlers that occurred in Georgia in the late 1700s. The presentation will be held at Athens Cine from 6-9pm. Suggested donation is $3.
