The document begins by looking at Blue Springs and the floods that occured within the town in 1928. Dixie, Georgia is also discussed with a manuscript by Summer Mary Hatcher and photgraphs of students in school.

Johnson Short is included through a oral history that was written down in 1988 detailing the changes over 90 years. Mule Creek is a interesting story with the retelling of a lost treasure in the area. The history of Nankin is detailed and includes the names of prominent settlers in the region.
