Ocmulgee National Monument: An Administrative History
Marsh A and National Park Service. 1986. Ocmulgee National Monument: An Administrative History. Park Administrative Histories
The desire of the National Park Service to produce administrative histories led Southeast Regional Historian Lenard Brown to the campus of the University of Georgia late in 1983. Lester Stephens, Chairman of the history department, informed me of the quest by the Regional Historian for prospective authors and a meeting was subsequently arranged between myself anct Mr-. Brawn. A recent graduate of the University, I had written a paper concerning Ocmulgee National Monument and was eager to conduct additional research. A proposal to write an administrative history of Ocmulgee National Monument was accepted by Mr. Brown, who then contacted Superintendent Sibbald Smith at the monument. Superintendent Smith reacted favorably to the proposal and arrangements were made to employ me as a VIP !Volunteer In Parks) the following summer. Research for the project began at Ocmulgee on April 2, 1984.
