Known for its impressive 18th

and 19th century architecture,

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

Page 9: Savannah As Archetype

as General Sherman’s

headquarters. Nearby is the

beautiful Mercer-Williams

House, where the controver-

sial events described in

Midnight in the Garden of

Good and Evil played out.

A few blocks further are the

Andrew Low House, home

Page 10: Savannah As Archetype

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

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, per-

haps the world,” says the urban-

ist 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 Philadel-

phia planner and author

Edmund Bacon. The American

Society of Civil Engineers has

designated Oglethorpe’s plan a

National Historic Civil Engineer-

ing Landmark, and in 1994 the

Savannah city plan was nomi-

nated by the Federal Interagency

Panel to the UNESCO World

Heritage List. In Savannah

Oglethorpe is “hailed appropri-

ately, as the city father, a vision-

ary, and mentioned regularly

in the public discourse, not

unlike the framers of the U.S.

Constitution.” (Duany, Plater-

Zyberk, and Speck) The Squares

are the heart of the plan.

“Savannah” and “John Randolph”Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/De-partment 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 success-ful 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 imme-diate 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 COMMIS-SION 1952

15th Corps at Savannah and Ogeechee Canal Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/

Department of Natural Resources Dedicated 1959 Region: Lowcountry County: ChathamGPS: N32 01.419|W81 19.025 Location: On Ga. 204 at the intersection with Bush Road and Savannah Ogeechee Canal, 2.4 miles west of I-95 interchange On Dec. 6 1864, the 15th Corps [US], Maj. 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 oc-cupied 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 en-trenched 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 LinesErected by Georgia Historical Commission/De-partment of Natural Resources Dedicated 1952 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham Location: At the Visitors Center at West Broad and Liberty Streets in Savannah, Ga. 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 Sa-vannah. 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 -- Ameri-can 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 dis-lodge 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 Revo-lution.025-10 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMIS-SION 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 gun-boats 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 aban-doned after Fort Pulaski fell to Federal troops.

Battle Between Confederate Gunboats and Union Field Artillery Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/De-partment of Natural Resources Dedicated 1961 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 08.552|W81 09.428 Location: On U.S. 17 at the former Savan-nah Sugar Refining Co. near Port Wentworth BATTLE BETWEEN CONFEDERATE GUN-BOATS AND UNION FIELD ARTILLERY (December 12, 1864) In December, 1864, was fought on the Savannah River near here one of the few battles in which Confederate gunboats and Union field artillery were engaged against each other. Colerain Plantation, as these lands were then known, had been occupied on De-cember 10, 1864, by units of Sherman’s army.

THEARCHE‑TYPE

Page 17: Savannah As Archetype

THEARCHE‑TYPE Archetypes are typical

modes of apprehen-

sion, i.e. patterns of

psychic perception and

understanding common

to all human beings.

The archetype is neither

an inherited idea nor a

common image. Rather,

it is the psychic form into

which individual experi-

ences are poured

and where they take

shape. It then produces

the symbols and images

which are apprehended

by consciousness. Some

archetypes are referred

to by their symbolic or

imaginal manifestations,

such as the divine child,

the great mother, the

wise old man, the trick-

ster, etc.;

these are archetypes

whose personalization

brings the psychological

power of the pattern into

consciousness. The con-

tent of other archetypes

is not as personalized,

such as the archetype

of wholeness or the ar-

chetype of rebirth; these

are archetypes which

symbolize the

kind of transformation

in question. The arche-

types can be ambivalent,

potentially positive and

negative. Insofar as

the archetypes them-

selves are, by definition,

outside of conscious

awareness, they function

autonomously, almost as

forces of nature, organiz-

ing human

experience for the indi-

vidual in particular ways

without regard to the

constructive or destruc-

tive consequences to

the individual life.

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 mid-shipman 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 bar-rels of bacon thrown in their furnaces, the two gunboats were able to steam out of range. They escaped to Augusta.025-79 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMIS-SION 1961

Bethesda Founding Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/De-partment of Natural Resources Dedicated 1962 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N31 57.595|W81 05.763 Location: At Bethesda, Ferguson Ave. off Whit-field Ave., Savannah BETHESDA: ITS FOUNDING The idea of establishing an orphanage in Georgia was sug-gested by Charles Wesley and James Edward Oglethorpe. Enthusiastically embraced by the Reverend George Whitefield, he labored to-ward that end after his arrival in Georgia in 1738. Through his efforts substantial sums were raised and a grant of 500 acres obtained

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 Hab-ersham, 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 build-ing 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. 025-81 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1962 Courtesy of the Carl Vinson Institute of Government

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 pat-tern for the strategic bombardment of Nazi Germany -- the Eighth Air Force by day and the RAF by night. Under the leaderships of Gener-als 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 COMMIS-SION 1966

Capture of Savannah Erected by Georgia Historical Commission/De-partment of Natural ResourcesDedicated 1952 Region: Lowcountry County: Chatham GPS: N32 04.338|W81 05.048 Location: At Liberty and Randolph Sts., Sa-vannnah CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH DECEMBER 29, 1778 When the British attacked Savannah on December 29, 1778, the defending Continental forces, numbering about 650 men under com-mand 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 consist-ed 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. Camp-bell 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 suf-fered 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 COMMIS-SION 1952 Courtesy of the Carl Vinson Insti-tute of Government

Cathedral of St. John the BaptistErected 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

First Baptist ChurchErected by Georgia Historical SocietyDedicated November 17, 2002Region: LowcountryCounty: ChathamGPS: N32 4.56114|W081 5.62104 First Baptist, Savannah Marker First Baptist Church, Savannah’s oldest standing house of worship, was designed by Elias Carter and completed in 1833. 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 Bap-tist Convention; and Arthur Jackson, executive secretary of the Georgia Baptist Foundation.

First Girl Scout HeadquartersErected by Georgia Historical Commission/Department of Natural ResourcesDedicated 1966Region: LowcountryCounty: ChathamGPS: N32 04.400|W81 05.564Location: On south side of Macon St., 150 yards east of Drayton St., SavannahFIRST GIRL SCOUT HEADQUARTERS IN AMERICA The house adjacent to this build-ing was the home of Juliette Gordon Low at the time she founded Girl Scouting in the United States, March 12, 1912. Formerly the carriage-house and stable of the Low mansion, this building became that year the first Girl Scout

headquarters in America. 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 build-ing has been continuously used for Girl Scout-ing longer than any other in this country.027-87 GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMIS-SION 1966

Forsyth ParkErected by Georgia Historical SocietyDedicated September 19, 2001Region: LowcountryCounty: ChathamGPS: N32 04.101|W081 05.759Forsyth Park MarkerIn the 1840s, William Brown Hodgson (1801-1871) conceived the idea of setting aside ten acres of wooded land at this site for develop-ment 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 mili-tary 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 Af-ricans 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 single-story buildings and small farm tracts for veg-etable gardens. In 1904, the Infirmary became one of the earliest training schools for African-American nurses. In 1975, it became Georgia’s first day center for stroke rehabilitation.

Invention of the Cotton GinErected by OtherDedicated 1986Region: LowcountryCounty: ChathamGPS: N32 04.847|W81 05.391Location: At 100 East Bay St. outside Old Cot-ton Exchange, SavannahTHE INVENTION OF THE COTTON GINA HISTORICAL LANDMARK OF AGRI-CULTURAL ENGINEERING.

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 GEOR-GIA 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 WHIT-NEY 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 PAT-ENTED MARCH 14, 1794. HENRY OGDEN HOLMES, OF GEORGIA, A RESOURCE-FUL, PRACTICAL MECHANIC OF THE KINCAIDE PLANTATION OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA, INVENTED AN IMPROVED GIN AND WAS GRANTED A PATENT ON MAY 12, 1796.

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 hand-

ed down through long periods of time. The term “ar-

chetype” thus applies only indirectly to the “répresenta-

tions collectives,” since it designates only those psychic

contents which have not yet been submitted to conscious

elaboration and are therefore an immediate datum of psy-

chic experience. In this sense there is a considerable dif-

ference between the archetype and the historical formula

that has evolved. Especially on the higher levels of esoter-

ic 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 indi-

vidual, 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 be-

ing perceived, and it takes its color from the individual

consciousness in which it happens to appear.

“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 super-ficial layer

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