In 1912 Macon sat on bluffs above the Ocmulgee, and its downtown ran along Cherry Street, where stores, banks, and the offices of the Macon Telegraph, a newspaper dating to 1826, drew shoppers from surrounding counties. Mercer University had moved to Macon in 1871, and its students and faculty added a steady presence to the city's streets. Residents also claimed Sidney Lanier, the poet born in Macon, whose death in 1881 kept his name alive in local literary pride. Across the river, the earthworks of the Ocmulgee bottoms were known to townspeople simply as Indian mounds, long before archaeologists began serious study of them. The city's commerce, schooling, and river geography were tightly bound together at this moment.
