The maps will cover a period of time from the Spanish Occupation in the 1500s to the present day. The program is based on his recent book. Buddy is the author of 35 books and is in frequent demand as a lecturer. He has twice served as president of LAHS, most recently from 2014-2018.

About the Lower Altamaha Historical Society:         

The mission of the Lower Altamaha Historic Society is to preserve and disseminate the history of McIntosh County. One of the primary missions of the Lower Altamaha Historical Society from its inception was, and continues to be, the support of the Fort King George State Historic Site near Darien, scene of the earliest English fortification in Georgia. LAHS, utilizing grant funds provided by the City of Darien, has expedited the preparation and installation of several state historic markers in the community, the most recent being the marker to the Enslaved at Butler Island in 2019.
