Savannah boasts over 1,700 restored buildings, each with its own story to tell. Travel back to the Civil War era as you visit the Green-Meldrim House, a Gothic revival style building which once served


as General Sherman’s headquarters. Nearby is the beautiful Mercer-Williams House, where the controversial events described in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil played out. A few blocks further are the Andrew Low House, home


to the founder of Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, and the Flannery O’Connor House. Be sure to stroll through a few of Savannah’s 21 squares, laid out by James Oglethorpe in 1733 and filled with statues, fountains, and lush vegetation. There’s no better way to see


Savannah than with Old Town Trolley Tours.



This “noble sequence of wooded and gardened squares . . . form[s] the glory of the city” William Dean Howells wrote almost 100 years ago. The Squares are set out within a unique grid of streets and “lanes” that follows a pattern established by General James Oglethorpe when he founded Savannah in 1733. It is “the most intelligent grid in America, perhaps the world,” says the urbanist author and architect John Massengale. Oglethorpe’s plan of squares and streets for Savannah is “so exalted that it remains as one of the finest diagrams for city organization and growth in

existence,” claimed the Philadelphia planner and author Edmund Bacon. The American Society of Civil Engineers has designated Oglethorpe’s plan a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, and in 1994 the Savannah city plan was nominated by the Federal Interagency Panel to the UNESCO World Heritage List. In Savannah Oglethorpe is “hailed appropriately, as the city father, a visionary, and mentioned regularly in the public discourse, not unlike the framers of the U.S. Constitution.” (Duany, PlaterZyberk, and Speck) The Squares are the heart of the plan.


“Savannah” and “John Randolph” Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/Department of Natural Resources Dedicated June 01, 2008 Region: Low-country County: Chatham Location: On Bay St. just East of City Hall, Savannah, Ga. SS SAVANNAH AND SS JOHN RANDOLPH The first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean, the SS SAVANNAH, sailed from this harbor on May 22, 1819 and reached Liverpool 27 days later. The anniversary of her sailing, May 22, is celebrated as National Maritime Day. Captain Moses Rogers was her master. James Monroe, President of the United States, inspected the vessel here and was taken on a trial excursion on May 12. The Savannah Steamship Company (of which William Scarbrough was principal promoter,) fitted her with a 90 H.P. engine and boiler. She was of 330 tons burden, 98’6” long, 25’2” breadth, 12’11” draft, equipped with paddle-wheel, spars, and sails. She depended primarily upon sail power in the open seas. Before returning to Savannah she visited St. Petersburg, Crondstadt, and Stockholm. The SS JOHN RANDOLPH, American’s first successful iron steamship in commerce, was launched in this harbor July 9, 1834. Prefabricated in Birkenhead, England for Gazaway B. Lamar of Savannah, she was shipped in segments and assembled here. She was 100’ long 22’ breadth. Unlike the SS SAVANNAH, she was an immediate commercial success in the river trade, and was the first of a great fleet of iron steamboats on the rivers of America. 025-3 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1952 15th Corps at Savannah and Ogeechee Canal Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/

Gen. P. J. Osterhaus, USA, the extreme right of Gen. Sherman’s army on its destructive March to the Sea, forced a crossing of Great Ogeechee River at Jenk’s Bridge (US 80 east of Blitchton) and drove the Confederate defenders toward Savannah. Corse’s division crossed and occupied Eden. Smith’s division remained on the west bank with the corps trains. With Hazen’s and Woods’ divisions, Osterhaus moved down the west bank. Hazen to take the bridge over Canoochee River east of Bryan Court House (Clyde), Woods to prepare crossings over the Ogeechee at Fort Argyle (1 mile W. across the river) and on the charred ruins of Dillon’s bridge, at the mouth of this canal. On the 8th, Corse moved down the east bank to this point and found the bridge over the canal in flames. He rebuilt it, then camped here for the night. On the 9th, Smith arrived with the corps trains. Corse moved forward to the Darien road (US 17), defeated a small Confederate force entrenched astride both roads, and drove it toward Savannah. On the 10th, Corse moved north of Little Ogeechee River followed by Hazen who, having secured the bridge over the Canoochee, had crossed the Ogeechee at Dillon’s Bridge. Smith moved north along the canal, followed by Woods who had crossed the Ogeechee at Fort Argyle. That night, Corse, Woods and Smith were in line facing the strong Confederate works along Salt Creek, with Hazen in reserve at the Little Ogeechee.

ATTACK ON BRITISH LINES OCTOBER 9, 1779 Over this ground, hallowed by the valor and the sacrifice of the soldiery of America and of France, was fought October 9, 1779, one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolution when Savannah, which the British had possessed for several months, was attacked by the combined American and French forces. A short distance west of this marker stood the famous Spring Hill Redoubt and along here ran the line of entrenchments built by the British around Savannah. After a three weeks siege, the Allies stormed the enemy works in this area early on October 9th. Arrayed in the opposing armies that day were soldiers of many lands -- American Continentals, Grenadiers of Old France, Irishmen in the service of King Louis XVI, Polish Lancers, French Creoles, and Negro volunteers from Haiti, fighting for American Independence against English Redcoats, Scotch Highlanders, Hessians, Royalist provincials from New York, Tory militia, armed slaves, and Cherokee Indians. After an heroic effort to dislodge the British the Allies retired with heavy losses. Thus the siege was lifted, and the French fleet sailed from Georgia, ending an episode of far-reaching significance in the American Revolution. 025-10 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1952Courtesy of the Carl Vinson Institute

of Government Battery Hamilton Erected by Georgia Historical Society Dedicated November 16, 2004 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 2.44062|W080 56.75868 Battery Hamilton Marker – Built by Federal troops during the Civil War, in February 1862, Battery Hamilton prevented Confederate gunboats and reinforcements from moving down the Savannah River to aid the besieged Fort Pulaski. Its presence also allowed the Federals to construct the eleven artillery batteries that pounded Fort Pulaski into surrender in April 1862. Battery Hamilton was constructed and occupied by Company E and a detachment from Company A of the Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery. The armament consisted of six heavy, rifled cannons. Battery Hamilton was abandoned after Fort Pulaski fell to Federal troops.

Anticipating an attempt by a Confederate naval flotilla, which had been engaged in protecting a railroad bridge further upstream, to return to Savannah, Captain C. E. Winegar’s battery was posted on a bluff about one mile East of this marker. Early on the morning of December 12, 1864, the CSS Sampson and Macon and their tender, the Resolute, attempted to run past the Federal battery. There a “terrific fire” from both sides, according to John Thomas Scharf, a midshipman on the Sampson who later became a well-known historian of the Confederate States Navy. The gunboats were struck several times. Unable to get past the battery, the vessels turned about. In doing so the Resolute collided with the gunboats and drifted helplessly upon Argyle Island where she was captured by troops of the 3rd Wisconsin Regiment. With the aid of barrels of bacon thrown in their furnaces, the two gunboats were able to steam out of range. They escaped to Augusta. 025-79 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1961

in 1739 from the Trustees of the Colony. Site of the Orphan House (far removed from “the wicked influence of the town”) was selected by Whitefield’s faithful co-worker, James Habersham, who wrote, “The boys and girls will be taught to labor for souls as well as for their daily bread.” March 25, 1740, Whitefield laid the first brick in the Orphan House to which he gave the name Bethesda, hoping it would ever prove what the word imported, “the House of Mercy”. November 3, 1740, 61 children took up residence at the “Great House”, described by an English traveler of the period as a “square building of very large dimensions, the foundations of which are of brick, with chimneys of the same; the rest of the superstructure of wood”. Since then hundreds of young people have gone forth from Bethesda’s sheltering arms to make their mark in the world, among them Governor John Milledge and General Lachlan McIntosh. 02581 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1962 Courtesy of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government

Birthplace of Eighth Air Force Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/Department of Natural Resources Dedicated 1966 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 03.855|W81 05.841 Location: At Old Chatham Armory, Bull St. near Park Ave., Savannah BIRTHPLACE OF EIGHTH AIR FORCE On 28 January 1942, the Eighth Air Force, was activated in the adjacent building, a National Guard Armory at the time. Having moved to England, the Eighth was ready on 17 August to test the theory that daylight bombing raids could be made with profitable results. Twelve


B-17’s participated in this mission, striking the railway marshalling yards at Rouen, France, and returning safely to their home base. This highly successful mission established the pattern for the strategic bombardment of Nazi Germany -- the Eighth Air Force by day and the RAF by night. Under the leaderships of Generals Carl A. Spaatz, Ira C. Eaker and James H. Doolittle, it flew over 600,000 sorties delivering over 700,000 tons of bombs and destroying over 15,000 German aircraft. On one single mission, December 24, 1944, it was able to send 2,000 B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators and nearly 1,000 fighters in the Battle of Germany. The renowned winged-eight, the emblem of the Eighth Air Force, was designed by former Air Force Major Ed Winter, a native of Savannah. 025-86 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1966 Capture of Savannah Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/Department of Natural Resources Dedicated 1952 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 04.338|W81 05.048 Location: At Liberty and Randolph Sts., Savannnah CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH DECEMBER 29, 1778 When the British attacked Savannah on December 29, 1778, the defending Continental forces, numbering about 650 men under command of Maj. Gen. Robert Howe, were posted across Sea Island Road (now Wheaton Street) approximately 100 yards east of this marker. The British army, 2500 strong, landed near Brewton Hill at daybreak on Dec. 29. It consisted of part of the 71st Highland Regt., New York Loyalists, and Hessians, and was commanded by Lt. Col. Archibald Campbell. The British

promptly marched on Savannah. They halted on the road about 800 yards from the American battle line and deployed for attack. Col. Campbell meanwhile learned of an unguarded pass through the swamp, which led around the right of the American line. He there upon detached the Light Infantry under Sir James Baird in an attempt, which proved successful, to flank the Continental position here. Outflanked, the American position became untenable and Gen. Howe ordered Savannah evacuated. During the withdrawal, the Georgia Brigade, commanded by Gen. Lachlan McIntosh, was cut off and suffered heavy casualties. During the subsequent siege of Savannah by the French and Americans in 1779 the British line of defenses around the Town ran through this area. 025-8 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1952 Courtesy of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government Cathedral of St. John the Baptist Erected by Georgia Historical Society Dedicated November 17, 2007 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 4.41096|W081 5.4777 Location: Abercorn Street, just North of the Harris Street Intersection. The congregation of St. John the Baptist formed in the late eighteenth century when French émigrés fleeing revolutions in France and Haiti found refuge in Savannah. The Church of St. John the Baptist became a cathedral in 1850 when the Diocese of Savannah was established with the Right Reverend Francis X. Gartland as its first bishop. The Cathedral was dedicated at this site on April 30, 1876. A fire in 1898 destroyed much of the structure. It was quickly rebuilt and opened again in 1900. Another major restoration took place in 2000. Today it

The congregation dates to 1800. In 1922 the front of the building was extended, and cupola removed, and the edifice covered with limestone. Under the leadership of Sylvanus Landrum, First Baptist Church was one of the few southern churches to remain open throughout the Civil War. Notable pastors include W.L. Pickard, later president of Mercer University; Norman Cox, executive secretary of the Historical Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention; and Arthur Jackson, executive secretary of the Georgia Baptist Foundation.

At the death of Mrs. Low in 1927 the Founder of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. willed the original headquarters to the Girl Scouts of Savannah (now The Girl Scout Council of Savannah, Georgia, Inc.). This building has been continuously used for Girl Scouting longer than any other in this country. 027-87 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1966 Forsyth Park Erected by Georgia Historical Society Dedicated September 19, 2001 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 04.101|W081 05.759 Forsyth Park Marker In the 1840s, William Brown Hodgson (18011871) conceived the idea of setting aside ten acres of wooded land at this site for development of Savannah’s first recreational park. It was named for former Georgia Governor John Forsyth (1780-1841). William Bischoff created the original landscape design. In the early 1850s improvements to the park included removal of some pines for walkways and ornamental plantings, benches, and iron fencing around the perimeter. In 1854 the fountain and radiating walks were added. Originally created as a military parade ground, the twenty-one-acre Park Extension was added in 1867. The dummy forts were built in c.1909 and used for training during World War I.

in 1832, the Infirmary was established for the relief and protection of afflicted and aged Africans under the provisions of the last will and testament of Savannah merchant and minister Thomas F. Williams (1774-1816). Originally located south of the city, it was moved here in 1838. Its fourteen acres included several singlestory buildings and small farm tracts for vegetable gardens. In 1904, the Infirmary became one of the earliest training schools for AfricanAmerican nurses. In 1975, it became Georgia’s first day center for stroke rehabilitation. Invention of the Cotton Gin Erected by Other Dedicated 1986 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 04.847|W81 05.391 Location: At 100 East Bay St. outside Old Cotton Exchange, Savannah THE INVENTION OF THE COTTON GIN A HISTORICAL LANDMARK OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING. THIS CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT WHICH WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE COTTON INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES OCCURRED ON GENERAL NATHANIEL GREENE’S PLANTATION NEAR SAVANNAH 10 MILES NORTHEAST OF THIS MARKER. SEPARATION BY HAND LABOR OF THE LINT FROM THE SEED OF THE DESIRED UPLAND VARIETY OF COTTON PRODUCED ONLY ONE POUND PER DAY PER PERSON. ELI WHITNEY, A NATIVE OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND YALE LAW GRADUATE, CAME TO GEORGIA TO TEACH SCHOOL IN LATE 1792, AT AGE 27. MRS. CATHERINE GREENE, WIDOW OF GENERAL GREENE, INVITED WHITNEY TO HER PLANTATION AND

URGED HIM TO DESIGN A COTTON GIN. HE SECLUDED HIMSELF FOR 10 DAYS IN THE SPRING OF 1793, WITH A BASKET OF COTTON BOLLS. HE DISCOVERED THAT A HOOKED WIRE COULD PULL THE LINT THROUGH A SLOT IN THE BASKET LEAVING THE SEEDS INSIDE. IN HIS PATENT APPLICATION WHITNEY DESCRIBED THE PROCESS AS: CONSISTING OF SPIKES DRIVEN INTO A WOODEN CYLINDER AND HAVING A SLOTTED BAR THROUGH WHICH THESE SPIKES PASSED AND HAVING A BRUSH TO CLEAN THE SPIKES. THE RESULT WAS A HAND OPERATED COTTON GIN WHICH PRODUCED OVER 50 POUNDS PER PERSON PER DAY. IT WAS PATENTED MARCH 14, 1794. HENRY OGDEN HOLMES, OF GEORGIA, A RESOURCEFUL, PRACTICAL MECHANIC OF THE KINCAIDE PLANTATION OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA, INVENTED AN IMPROVED GIN AND WAS GRANTED A PATENT ON MAY 12, 1796. HIS CONTINUOUS FLOW GIN USED RIP-SAW TEETH ON A CIRCULAR STEEL BLADE WHICH PASSED THROUGH SPACES BETWEEN RIBS. THE CIRCULAR SAW GIN WITH IMPROVEMENTS, CAPABLE OF GIBING 1000S OF POUNDS PER DAY WAS STILL IN USE IN 1985. OFFICIALS OF THE COTTON EXCHANGE COMMISSION BUILDING, WHICH FACES THIS MARKER, SHIPPED FROM THE PORT OF SAVANNAH THOUSANDS OF BALES TO A NEW WORLDWIDE INDUSTRY AND BROUGHT PROSPERITY TO THE SOUTH.

Répresentations Collectives

Another well-known expression of the archetypes is myth and fairy tale. But here too we are dealing with forms that have received a specific stamp and have been handed down through long periods of time. The term “archetype” thus applies only indirectly to the “répresentations collectives,” since it designates only those psychic contents which have not yet been submitted to conscious elaboration and are therefore an immediate datum of psychic experience. In this sense there is a considerable difference between the archetype and the historical formula that has evolved. Especially on the higher levels of esoteric teaching the archetypes appear in a form that reveals quite unmistakably the critical and evaluating influence of conscious elaboration. Their immediate manifestation, as we encounter it in dreams and visions, is much more individual, less understandable, and more naive that in myths, for example. The archetype is essentially an unconscious content that is altered by becoming conscious and by being perceived, and it takes its color from the individual consciousness in which it happens to appear.

*Psychic existence can be recognized only by the presence of contents capable of conciousness.


“ A more or less superficial layer of the unconcious is undoubtedly personal. I call it the personal unconcious. But this personal unconcious rests upon a deeper layer, which does not derive from personal experience and is not a personal acquisition but is inborn. This deeper layer I call the collective unconcious.�


A more or less superficial layer


What is most interesting is the overwhelming cultural resonance of its history. There is this unconcious need to progress toward the past.
