Images of America: Elberton is filled with scenes of days gone by, revealing what life was like for early Elbertonians. Highlighted are such notable individuals as Samuel Elbert, an American Revolutionary War hero and the town and county's namesake
Thomas M. Swift, merchant, mill owner, and builder of the Swift Block on North McIntosh Street
Dr. Nathaniel G. Long, medical practitioner, politician, and business entrepreneur who established the first telephone system in the city
and Edmund Brewer Tate Jr., civic and business leader who encouraged construction of the present county courthouse. Local businesses, homes, institutions, and landmarks are included as well, such as the extant Queen Anne house built by W.C. Smith on Heard Street in the late 19th century, Reuben H. Hunt's Richardsonian Romanesque courthouse of 1894-1895, and the Samuel Elbert Hotel of 1924-1925. Coupled with informative captions, these vintage photographs tell the story that is uniquely Elberton.
