History of the University of Georgia

History of the University of Georgia

Thomas Walter Reed, the author of the novel History of the University of Georgia, served as an eyewitness to much of the university’s beginning growth. When he retired in 1945, he began writing the historical novel. Since publication, his novel has been a favorite research item in the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library in the University of Georgia library system. Correlating to the map of campus in 1805, Reed’s novel gives great insight into how the campus changed over time as well as what the changes were happening outside of the university. Without resources such as his novel, a true account of the history of UGA would not exist today.
