5.0 out of 5 stars Great Chronicle, March 8, 2000
By Brian O'Malley (Atlantic Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive History, March 7, 2009
By Jbdave (Jonesboro, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlanta and Environs: A Chronicle of Its People and Events (Atlanta & Environs) (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.
