BENJAMIN W. FORTSON, JR. DUAL SIDED STATE OF GEORGIA COUNTY OUTLINE MAP 1963-64

Description

Description:
This presents as a new 1963-64 large (17 inch by 21.5 inch) fold-out double-sided map showcasing all 157 Georgia State Counties as well as 12 Congressional Districts on one side while providing detailed information about each of the 157 Georgia State Counties on the other side.
There is factory crinkling on one quadrant which ends up being the upper left hand corner but this map is otherwise as nice as the day it was printed during the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Presidential administration.
Additionally, it would have taken someone with the personality and drive like Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr., to have produced such a monumental undertaking. Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr. was Georgia Secretary of State from 1946 until 1970, making his the longest tenure in history.
He is famous for many things but most of all, for guaranteeing that there was no fight for Governor in 1946 when the Governor-elect died before being sworn in.
The Lieutenant-Governor was rightfully sworn in and Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr., literally sat on the official seal until this smooth transition of power was accomplished.
As Secretary of State, Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr. saw 11 consecutive Georgia Governors get elected before his death in 1979.
Two of the most famous Governors of Georgia during his tenure included Button Gwinnett and future President of the Unites Stated (POTUS) Jimmy Carter.
Of course we are kidding about Button Gwinnett but it would sure be nice to have a dozen official signed documents by him.
This is one of the few pieces of period memorabilia which can be obtained and which bears the Benjamin W. Fortson, Jr. seal—his name and position are prominently printed on the reverse side of this wonderful dual-sided informational political map.
This was a grand prize during the annual Georgia State 4H contest from 1963 or 1964.
