Hawkins-Davison Houses, Frederica, St. Simons Island, Georgia

** "Hawkins-Davison Houses, Frederica, St. Simons Island, Georgia" by Cate is a historical narrative that journeys back to 18th-century Frederica, Georgia, to unearth the intertwined stories of two contrasting figures, a town doctor and a tavern owner, and the homes they occupied in this early British settlement. Through a blend of historical records and archaeological discoveries, the book rebuilds the foundation of Frederica, established as a safeguard against Spanish threats, while also illustrating the lives of these men, whose reputations deeply colored their community. Through the findings uncovered from the excavation of the Hawkins and Davison houses, the book gives a unique insight into the everyday life and social environment that existed before the town's eventual decline. **
