Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Mark Langston: A Tale of Duke´s Creek The Dukes were among the very first to settle in the neighborhood wherein occurred what is herein told. They imparted their name to the creek one mile above their residence, and some years afterward, when a blacksmith´s shop entirely, and a meeting-house mainly their own, had been erected at the cross-roads, a quarter of a mile east, they called the place Dukesborough. Ammon Duke was supposed to have come from an upper county of North Carolina, though, being a man apparently without desire of hereditary distinction, he was not wont to speak often or much of bis family antecedents. He had come in a two-horse wagon, bringing a wife, with her one young male child (Kinsey by name), five or six negroes, and a considerable amount of money in specie. He grew rich apace. The withdrawal of the Indians across the Oconee and the Ocmulgee had opened the hither sides to easy and frequent settlement thereon. Ammon Duke offered early and persistent arguments in favor of a town there in the upper border of the county.
