Product Description
This is the Second Edition of the Slow Travels series, Slow Travels-Georgia. It explores all geographic regions of the State, from the Southern end of the Appalachians to the Low Country along the Atlantic Coast. Georgia was a key state in the American Civil War, and the abundant Civil War history is evident along every highway and in every city and county. U.S. Highways 27 and 41 begin their routes through the hotly contested Chattanooga to Atlanta corridor, both including the earlier past of the Cherokee as well as the industrial development after Reconstruction. U.S. Highway 23, coming down from the gold rich mountains of Northeast Georgia, joins U.S. 41 to explore the Atlanta Metropolitan Area and the short trip from Atlanta to Macon, continuing along the route of Sherman’s March to the Sea. From Macon, U.S. 23 travels along portions of the Golden Isles Parkway, leading to the land of the Okefenokee. U.S. 41 continues south through the land of the peanut and peach before slipping into Florida south of Valdosta. U.S. 27 travels the land of the Chattahoochee River south of Macon to Bainbridge, intersecting with U.S. Highway 84, the Georgia Wiregrass Trail, which arcs its way from the Atlantic across southern Georgia to Alabama. U.S. Highway 17 hugs the Georgia Low Country coast, touching the Golden Isles along the way. U.S. Highway 80 is the route of Middle Georgia, connecting the metropolitan areas of Savannah, Macon, and Columbus, and the rich, conflicted history in between.
Added in the Second Edition is Georgia's Wiregrass Trail, U.S. Highway 84, from Midway in the east to the Alabama Line at the Chattahoochee River. Maps have also been updated and GPS Coordinates added for all listed sites.
