About this title

Synopsis

This standard history of the state of Georgia was first published in 1977. Documenting events from the earliest discoveries by the Spanish to the rapid changes undergone during the civil rights era, the book gives broad coverage to the state's social, political, economic and cultural history. For this new edition, available for the first time in paperback, the book has been revised to bring the work up through events of the 1980s and the bibliographies for each section and the appendices have been updated to include relevant scholarship from the decade of the 1980s.
