- This is an oral history of the Okefenokee Swamp region of southeast Georgia from the 1850s to the 1930s, as told by members of seven early pioneer families. It is an authentic look at the daily challenges and rewards of life in the Okefenokee wilderness. Written by Lois and Rick Mays, “Settlers of the Okefenokee” presents a varied view of the life of these people through their experiences on the rivers, in now-vanished villages and on islands in the interior of the swamp. Each chapter presents a candid view of family’s life including interesting anecdotes and events as they were recalled by these settlers. It is the result of extensive interviews, and is documented and indexed.
