Hidden Georgia

As author Marty Olmstead points out, Georgia offers a diversity of scenery that ranges from mountain wilderness in the west to miles of sandy Atlantic beaches in the east. In between there are big cities, tiny villages, backroad byways, and presidential hideaways. This veteran travel writer returns to her home state to capture its allure. The result of her research and recollections is an all-new guide -- Hidden Georgia. Now readers can follow her to the state's most popular attractions and learn about the state's rich heritage, including Civil War battlefields, original Cherokee homelands, Gullah island communities, and plantation-era mansions.
