About Lisa Land Cooper

Lisa Land Cooper has worn many hats during her professional life, first working as a paralegal and legal researcher for over 20 years, and then embarking on a career as an educator. Since leaving the classroom, she has authored two books, written university-level courses, and become a featured weekly columnist for the “Douglas County Sentinel”, her home county’s newspaper.

Lisa researches all areas of American History, but over the last seven years has focused entirely on Douglas County and old Campbell County history for her writing and books. Her weekly column in the “Douglas County Sentinel” has appeared each Sunday since March, 2012 and has been recognized by the Georgia Press Association for the last two years in their Better Newspaper Contest.

Currently, Lisa is in the midst of drafting a new book regarding Georgia history focusing on little known stories from around the state. She is also working on a project regarding the resort era days of Lithia Springs when the Sweetwater Park Hotel, the Piedmont Chautauqua, and the Bowden Springs Water Company were all viable concerns in the area.  Lisa also hopes to have a book out soon with a few tales from old Campbell County which today encompasses most of the area designated as the southern end of Fulton County.
