on cover to Columbia Mines, Ga., Extremely Fine, Ex-Wm.
A. Fox. Despite newer technologies, the disruption brought
by the Civil War--along with the related closing of the Dahlonega
branch of the U.S. Mint--brought the Georgia gold industry
nearly to a standstill. In 1829, thousands of "Twenty-Niners"
began pouring into north Georgia, seeking their fortunes in
the Georgia Gold Rush. After the war, as the region began
a slow recovery, there were several sporadic new mining efforts,
but these limped along until the large scale revival attempt
at the end of the nineteenth century. Interesting info' on
