Great Chronicle,
By
This review is from: Atlanta and Environs: A Chronicle of Its People and Events (Hardcover)
Harold H. Martin, continuing the work of Franklin Garrett, offers a wonderful survey of Atlanta from 1940 to the mid-1970s. Martin selects anecdotes to beautifully evoke each period he discusses--Margaret Mitchell rallying recruits for World War II; youth reading comics in the basement of a church-sponsored hangout; gawkers driving to a hippie enclave in the late-sixties and early-seventies. Martin draws heavily, but not exclusively, from contemporary newspaper accounts to create a richly-textured chronicle. This is a vivid depiction of an era and a city.

Definitive History,
By Jbdave (Jonesboro, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlanta and Environs: A Chronicle of Its People and Events (Volume Two) (Hardcover)
This is considered by most as the definitive work on the history of Atlanta. Not sure what is for sale here, as Garrett's work is in three-volumes.
