Thanks to McCook's Pharmacy for making the replay of the Bulloch Tid Bit's available on Grice Connect.
The Ogeechee is 294 miles long. It begins in Greene County, GA and flows into the Atlantic Ocean in Ossabaw Sound. Jack Leigh, a friend of my Daddy’s, documented life on the Ogeechee in a famous book entitled, The Ogeechee: A River and its People. Did you know that Ogeechee River shad is served in fine restaurants as a delicacy? It is believed that the name Ogeechee comes from the Muskogee Indian term meaning “River of the Yuchis.”
Bulloch Tidbits are a weekly feature written and narrated by the Bulloch County Historical Society (BCHS) Executive Director Virginia Anne Franklin Waters. Each week Virginia Anne takes Grice Connect readers onto a historical journey back in time saluting the people and places that have make Statesboro and Bulloch a wonderful place to call home.
Bulloch Tidbits on Grice Connect are made possible thanks to the generous support of McCook's Pharmacy a locally owned pharmacy located at 23630 US-80 in Statesboro.
