Pleasant Georgia is named for the plantation that was built by Solomon Graves beginning in 1819. His land holdings totaled over 7500 acres at one point. The original plantation home which still exists was built in 1835. The land remained in the Graves family until the final 426 acres were sold in 1958. In the early 1980s 450 acres of the former plantation not including the 22 acres immediately surrounding the original plantation home were sold to a speculator/developer who had been assembling land at Interstate 20 interchanges east of Atlanta. By the late 1980s the land had been rezoned to a mix of industrial multi-family highway commercial and residential.<br /> <br /> See also: Perkerson Madora Field. White Columns in Georgia.

18315023Boston: Massachusetts Sabbath School Union 1831. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Good. 24mo. Pp. 142 followed by two pages of publisher's advertisements. Frontis. engraving. Tan ribbed roan half bound marbled boards gilt titles and rules on the spine. Edges trimmed. Free endpaper ink signature "J. S. Noyes Concord." Spine ends chipped light foxing. Though stated on the title page as "Revised by the Publishing Committee" the publishing year corresponds with the copyright claim and we have been unable to discover an earlier edition.<br /> As told by the pious "Father Allerton" to his grandchildren and the anonymous author. Each chapter is followed by study questions. The former owner J. S. Noyes is likely the Concord lawyer who in 1840 missed by 15-feet being hit by a chunk of meteor that landed in New Hampshire. He kept the rock for years before it was analyzed and proven to be meteoric supporting his story that it landed nearby when he was out for a post-dinner walk. A scarce juvenile with OCLC listing this 1831 edition as the earliest held and that by only two libraries - Harvard and the Newberry. Massachusetts Sabbath School Union hardcover
