It all began on a cool fall day in the mountains of North Georgia, or so the story goes. It was 18 20 games, and young Benjamin Parks was walking quietly through the woods, looking for deer. As he wandered, his foot struck an unusual looking rock, one whose deep yellow color made it stand out on the forest floor. This, it's been said, was the first discovery of gold in Georgia. This story, though, while widely known and often repeated, is only one of many popular legends about the start of Georgia's gold rush. And while Benjamin Parks may not have been the first to find gold here, he was far from the last.
