About the Book

Georgia history enthusiasts and researchers alike will be captivated with the colorful topics and attention to detail of the many subjects in Mystery & History in Georgia, Volume II. Designed as a companion to the award-winning Mystery & History in Georgia, Volume I, author R. Olin Jackson picks right up where he left off in the earlier tome.

So grab an easy chair or cool spot beneath your favorite "spreading chestnut tree" and dig in. Just as with Volume I, this latest work will be difficult to put down.

Read about Hugh Jarrett, who once was a member of the famed "Jordanaires" vocal group who were the backing singers for Elvis Presley, and how Jarrett was strangely banished from the group in 1958, never again to appear with Presley. Prior to his departure, Jarrett had appeared in Presley's performances on the Ed Sullivan Television Show in New York and in many of his early Hollywood movies. Jarrett subsequently moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived for many years before dying from injuries suffered in a tragic automobile accident. His grave now occupies a solemn plot at a small Cherokee County church cemetery in north Georgia.

Learn how small-town vixen Virginia Hill from Marietta, Georgia, went on to become a Hollywood starlet and the girlfriend of one of the most famous mobsters of all time - Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. Hill, who ultimately died a lonely death far from home in Switzerland, became so famous that her story was featured in several major motion pictures, including "Bugsy" starring Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.

Discover the details of a secret gold mine beneath the floor of the Smith House Restaurant in Dahlonega, Georgia which had lain hidden underneath the eatery's concrete pad until 2006, when renovators accidentally discovered it. Frank W. Hall, a mining engineer, had moved to Dahlonega in 1868 and discovered a rich vein of gold on what today is the Smith House property, but was denied the right to mine it by a town ordinance, so he subsequently pursued his riches covertly.

Enjoy the little-known details of a treasure in gold and silver in the U.S. Branch Mint which once existed in the former gold-rush town of Dahlonega, Georgia, in 1861. This immense cache of precious metal worth millions of dollars today, literally vanished after being picked up for shipment to Atlanta.

Learn the details of the many Hollywood movies filmed in the early 1900s in Dahlonega and Lumpkin County due to the area's unusual "Western-appearance" topography. The massively-deep gulches and other unusual landscape characteristics from the late-1800s-era hydraulic gold mining in north Georgia, provided the perfect back-drop for movie directors.

Read about old West icon John Henry "Doc" Holliday - who hailed from Griffin and Valdosta, Georgia - and his exploits in the Peach State prior to traveling out West where he gained lasting fame.

Savor the experiences of Polk County resident Guy Wilfred Jordan who spent his formative years in tiny Colton, California, where the Earp family (Wyatt, Morgan, Virgil and the rest) of Western fame lived and worked for decades.
