Lydia Smith Stone Crews, known as the 'Queen of the Okefenokee Swamp' was a rough, tough gal who got rich selling timber to the railroads for ties. If the men she hired couldn't handle getting the timber out of the swamp, Lydia would show them how it was done. Everybody knew not to mess with Lydia. Later in life she married a 25 year old guy she called "Baby Doll". Well, Baby Doll ended up in jail so she went and paid off the sheriff to let him out. The first thing she did was to make her first stop at the bank to cancel the check she wrote the sheriff. I've got a book on her life.

PS She lived her later life quietly and donated the land that became the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge.
