1 comments about The 1850 Census of Georgia Slave Owners.

1. The 1850 Census Of Georgia Slave Owners compiled by Jack F. Cox is a straightforward genealogical reference listing an 1850 census compiled for each of the 93 counties of Georgia at the time. Alphabetized by the last name of each given slaveowner or overseer, The 1850 Census Of Georgia Slave Owners states nothing more than the owner's name, their county, and the number of slaves owned in each entry. A one-page introduction is the only other material in this no-frills primary source.

5 comments about WHERE PEACHTREE MEETS SWEET AUBURN: The Saga of Two Families and the Making of Atlanta.

1. I've read several of Gary's books and found this one to be an amazing work of not only scholarship and very detailed research but it was also very readable. Some people may be put off by the sheer size of the book but once I was hooked (it took a few pages), I really couldn't put it down until I was done.
   
   Luckily, I was on a cruise and quite a few sea days to lie back in the sun and savour this wonderful book.
   
   I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone interest in how the South was transformed (both intentionally and unintentionally) by a small number of people with not only immense vision but also immense bravery and a sense of justice.
   
   Bravo Gary!



2. This book not only is about two families but also about how those two families influenced and built one of the great metropolises of America. Greatly narrated and beautifully told.



3. As a recent transplant to the city of Atlanta, I didn't know much about Atlanta's history. And as an African American woman with grandparents who left the South in search of bigger opportunities in the North, I was more aware of the racism than I was of how and who ushered in the social and economic change that created more opportunities for my generation. The book is extremely well written and once I started I couldn't put it down. This is great way to learn about history. Anyone interested in Atlanta's history in particular and American history in general should read this book!!!!!!



4. Not quite finished yet, but am enjoying very much. Great to know the people behind all those street names around town and how the city got its reputation as "the city too busy to hate"



5. "Fascinating Atlanta history of five generations of the Dobbs family, descendants of slaves and the Allen family, former slave owners."

1 comments about Savannah: A History of Her People Since 1733.

1. Savannah: A History of Her People Since 1733 offers a chronological view of Savannah history, including period photogrpahs and sketches. If you are acquainted with Savannah, this book will help solidify your knowlegde. If you are new to Savannah or need to learn more about the city, the book will increase your knowledge. The only drawback -- the authors should have given more attention to the 20th century... Babe Ruth's historic home run in the city's minor league stadium, some devastating hurricanes etc.
