The original Annie Abbott
The original Annie Abbott, "The Little Georgia Magnet," was Dixie Annie Jarratt Haygood of Milledgeville, GA. She obseved Lulu Hurst, the "Georgia Wonder," on stage and began some of the same exhibitions, although she claimed to have "the power" from when she was a child. She took on the stage name of Annie Abbott about 1889. Annie Abbott (or Annie May Abbott) was known for being able to withstand the strength of some of the world's strongest men, such as Charley Mitchell and Eugene Sandow. Scientists were baffled whether her power was spiritualism, magnetic force, hypnotism, magic, or something else. She traveled the world and performed before royalty, including the Prince of Wales.
Here at last!!
A book, entitled, Annie Abbott "The Little Georgia Magnet" and the True Story of Dixie Haygood. It is the definitive story of Annie Abbott and Annie May Abbott, and is based on extensive research using original sources, Annie Abbott's own autograph album (autographed as she traveled the world), and family archives. It was written by Hugh T. and Susan J. Harrington, who have published Annie Abbott articles in Georgia Historical Quarterly and The Linking Ring, which won "Award of Outstanding Merit for the Best Series Published in The Linking Ring magazine" for 2003.
