Description

Deep in the heart of everyman, the question arises "when I'm dead and gone will people still know who I am fifty or even a hundred years from now". Strangely enough, however, very few people lead such a life that creates an impression on history so that their deeds and accomplishments can be recognized. Philip Dickinson Daffin was a rare exception. As one rides around the city of Savannah, one can easily notice the work of Philip Daffin. Born and raised on the gulf coast of Florida; served faithfully the Civil War and lived the rest of his life in Savannah, very little can be found in this man's history. He was a good family­ minded man, an excellent businessman, and a great all-around citizen.
