Bulloch History: What does Bamboo, Henry Ford and Savannah Avenue have in Common?

Thanks to McCook's Pharmacy for making the replay of the Bulloch Tid Bit's available on Grice Connect. I will battle invasive bamboo on my property at 315 Savannah Avenue until I die. It was planted by Dr. RJH DeLoach and Henry Ford. This was during WWI and they were experimenting with a rubber replacement. The Vagabonds, including, Ford, Thomas Edison and John Burroughs, visited Statesboro and Savannah Avenue. This is fabulous, forgotten history of our town.
