From dust jacket: Buckhead: A Place for All Time is a poignant look at a community and its people, enhanced by personal anecdotes, family histories, and photographs. The history begins with the Indians who lived along the Chattahoochee River at Peachtree Creek prior to the arrival of white settlers. During the War of 1812, Federal soldiers appeared at the Creek Indian village of Standing Peachtree to build a fort and boat yard. Following the cession of the Creek land to the federal government in 1821, settlers such as the Montgomerys, Howells, Faces, Cheshires, Moores, and Irbys came and established ferries, mills, farms, and taverns. By 1838 the community was known as Buck's Head. The Civil War disrupted Buckhead when it became a battleground for Northern and Southern soldiers. At war's end, more people arrived, making the area a residential community, and a small commercial center. During this period, newly-created black neighborhoods took root in Buckhead. In the early 1900s, wealthy families of Atlanta discovered Buckhead and began to build mansions on West Paces Ferry and Peachtree roads. As the population flourished, additional churches, schools and businesses were established. Buckhead has weathered the Great Depression, two World Wars, riots, murders, a kidnapping, the Ku Klux Klan, and being annexed into the metropolis of Atlanta. Throughout its history of growth and development, Buckhead has remained A Place for All Time. Georgia, Georgiana, Americana, U.S.-iana, U. S.
