Anson Dodge was a character of Eugenia Price's "Beloved Invader," and sometimes a visitor to the pine barrens of Telfair County. It is said he told his grandfather that he could learn as much among the pines of Telfair as he could in a formal seminary. Controversy and violence raged when the Dodges claimed the land that the inhabitants had lived on for years. They also cut the timber. The court scrapes, killings, and general discord came to be known as the Dodge Land and Timber Troubles. [Photo courtesy of Skeet & Ruby Brown]
