Discover Savannah, Georgia, a genuine Southern Belle and the latest title from the best-selling Then and Now series. Savannah Then and Now takes readers to some of the most remarkable sites in the city. Side-by-side images of the past and present show how much Savannah has changed since it was first planned by Englishman James Oglethorpe in 1733. Savannah has a grid design centered around open squares. Originally, the city expanded around just four squares; today there are 21 squares, each with a personality of its own. During the Civil War, many Southern cities were burned to the ground. However, because Savannah surrendered to the Union, its Antebellum architectural legacy was preserved. Today, millions flock there to enjoy the historic buildings and famed Southern hospitality. Visit Savannah's Historic District, now a National Historic Landmark. Photographs capture the rich architectural history of the city and show the people's dedication to preserving their heritage.

Savannah Then and Now - People and Places is a photographic tour de force of one of America's best-preserved cities. Pairing vintage photos with their modern-day equivalent, it takes in many of the elegant squares first planned out by James Oglethorpe in pre-Revolutionary Georgia.The preservation movement is strong within the city and many of the match-ups show the delapidated state of the Victorian District, and the dramatic transformation that has taken place in the last twenty years.All the large 18th-century house museums are featured including Mercer House (made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil), Davenport House, Wayne- Gordon House, Harper-Fowlkes House, and the Green-Meldrim House occupied by Sherman in 1864 after his march to the sea.
