Abstract:
The Legends of Jekyll Island By Franklin H. Head. This work was originally read before the Chicago Historical Society in (k2 and was then printed in New England Magazine without comment. DeRenne, having acquired a copy of the magazine, revealed that the whole thing was hoax, made up by Head and illustrated with black and white photos of his friends and acquaintances rather than real pictures of Oglethorpe and Sii Francis Drake. This booklet came out around the same time as the magazine article and differs slightly from the article according to DeRenne. NUC lists ten copies virtually all in northern libraries. It is a rarely seen Georgia oddity - and quite funny. #8561 $125.00 1893? U-GAPaper
