The sixteen sites featured in this book capture more than fifteen hundred years of history of the place we now call Georgia, from the Woodland era through the mid-twentieth century. Included are Native American sites from the Woodland, Mississippian, and Cherokee periods, colonial-era sites, frontier settlement sites, antebellum plantations, Civil War sites, and a presidential retreat. No other book offers such comprehensive coverage of all the historic sites owned and operated by the state of Georgia.
Dickey's history of Georgia’s memorialization, commemoration, and memory-making will fascinate tourists, students, and scholars alike. The travel guide format, focusing on the state’s sixteen official historic sites, is clever and appealing.
