Similarly, a history of Georgia coauthored by a former governor states, “A number of minor controversies concerning the boundaries have occurred at different times, but they were mostly local in character and have been settled by the mutual agreement of the state authorities. Between 1803 and 1818 several of these disputes arose between Georgia and North Carolina. In the fall of 1881 …” The transition to 1881 is a considerable leap. See also Allen D.
