Synopsis

Get Off the Interstate: A Guide to the Historical Markers of Coastal Georgia guides the reader along the highways, city streets, country roads, dirt paths and woodland trails to find history hidden amidst the scenic landscape. The book engulfs the six Coastal Georgia counties of Camden, Glynn, McIntosh, Liberty, Bryan and Chatham, traveling south to north, transporting the reader from the days before Oglethorpe developed a fledgling colony, to the modern day traffic of metropolitan Savannah.

Get Off the Interstate appeals to those that are touring the area as well as those who are interested in America’s thirteenth colony and her vast history. Every available historical marker from Camden in the south to Chatham county in the north is represented with stories detailing the little known facts and expanding the brief information provided on the markers themselves. From ghost stories to folk tales and humorous antidotes to famous duels, the stories reveal the characters of history as flesh and bone human beings.
