About this title

Synopsis

The New Georgia Guide reveals as never before Georgia's remarkable array of people and places and its rich heritage and culture.
Completely current and arranged in a region-by-region format, The Guide is filled with tours, essays, and more. Beckoning you to slow your pace and set aside your preconceptions, the Guide welcomes you to a Georgia not found in travel guides that cater to southern stereotypes and often amount to little more than a numbing recitation of facts, figures, and phone numbers.
An entertaining and informative volume, The Guide was years in the making and involved some of the state's best writers, journalists, naturalists, and historians, as well as countless other Georgians at the local level across the state.
Combining history and contemporary observation, The Guide gives you a "then-and-now" feel for such locales as the Appalachian foothills, the site of America's first gold rush in 1829 and now a renowned area for fall foliage and local crafts, or the sea islands, where wealthy northern industrialists and financiers built spectacular winter retreats along the same beaches invaded long ago by conquistadors.
A clear-eyed view of yesterday's and today's Georgians also emerges from The Guide, giving you an intimate sense of who they are, what they believe, and what their connections are to each other and to the places where they live and work.
Whether you want to stroll down Peachtree Street, tour Savannah's historic homes, visit a civil war battlefield, canoe in the Okefenokee Swamp- or just enjoy some good barbecue and listen to some bluegrass or rock, there is no better place to start exploring Georgia than in the pages of the New Georgia Guide.
