Modern travelers moving across the state of Georgia today often encounter street and road signage for an avenue called “Old Alabama Road” in Gwinnett, Fulton, Bartow and numerous other counties. Other travelers in the White, Union and adjacent counties occasionally pass by signage for historic routes called “the Unicoi Turnpike” and “the Logan Turnpike.” Still others passing across Hall, Forsyth, Cherokee and other counties in that realm often come across a pike called “Old Federal Road.” Unbeknownst to most of these “modern” travelers, these “turnpikes” and “old roads” were the original routes used by pioneer settlers as they moved across the virgin forests and untamed wilderness which were fast becoming the state of Georgia. Remnants of these original westward trails can still be witnessed and experienced in numerous localities if one wishes to seek them out.
There likewise are numerous forgotten and abandoned early rail lines throughout the state of Georgia, some dating as far back as pioneer days as well. Remnants of these historic holdovers can also still be seen, as can portions of their rolling stock and aged forgotten depots. A few examples include the Western & Atlantic Railroad, which dates to Civil War days and still exists from Atlanta to Chattanooga, owned today by the state of Georgia; the Western & Macon Railroad, remnants of which also still exist and on which such famed individuals as Georgia native and old West gunman John Henry “Doc” Holliday and others once traveled; the very scenic and historic Tallulah Falls Railroad, and the list goes on and on. History abounds for those willing to do just a bit of research and take the time to ferret out these historic vestiges of yesteryear.
In the earliest days, hardy pioneer adventurers many times simply followed Native American or wild game trails in their westward migrations. Cloven-hoofed animals in prehistory such as elk, bison, deer, antelope and the like traveled seasonally to new forage opportunities, and in their migrations, they invariably followed the routes of least resistance around the endless hills and through passes in the mountainsides, and across the countless streams, creeks and rivers they encountered. Native Americans later adopted many of these game trails for their own use and improved upon them directionally, traveling more horizontally or vertically across great distances to trade with and wage war against other aboriginals. In turn, many of these trails were adopted by pioneer American settlers and improved still further.
The earliest pioneers congregated originally on the continent’s east coast where they were confronted with the great barrier of the Appalachian Mountain Range. They subsequently were forced to migrate southward down the eastern seaboard of what later became the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina before reaching Georgia, where they were finally able to turn westward and travel inland – having circumvented the huge Appalachian obstacle. These early inland routes eventually gained identities such as “the Alabama Roads,” or “the Unicoi Turnpike,” or “the Logan Turnpike,” or “the Federal Road,” and numerous other names.
The accounts within the pages of this book take the reader down these early travel routes – from the easternmost portions of Georgia to eastern Alabama, describing the life which existed along the way. These byways ultimately were used for everything from the death and destruction of the U.S. Civil War to the joy and happiness of wonderful getaway resorts in the Appalachian highlands. The 37 captivating articles with over 215 maps, diagrams and period photographs on the 340 pages of this volume provide a vivid description of these trails and rails and the people who experienced them. This then is the story of the Historic Rails and Forgotten Trails of Early Georgia.

Diritto di recesso

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
