Georgias past has diverged from the nations and given the state and its people a distinctive culture and character. Some of the best; and the worst; aspects of American and Southern history can be found in the story of what is arguably the most important state in the South. Yet just as clearly Georgia has not always followed the road traveled by the rest of the nation and the region. Explaining the common and divergent paths that make us who we are is one reason the Georgia Historical Society has collaborated with Buddy Sullivan and Arcadia Publishing to produce Georgia: A State History; the first full-length history of the state produced in nearly a generation. Sullivans lively account draws upon the vast archival and photographic collections of the Georgia Historical Society to trace the development of Georgias politics; economy; and society and relates the stories of the people; both great and small; who shaped our destiny. This book opens a window on our rich and sometimes tragic past and reveals to all of us the fascinating complexity of what it means to be a Georgian.
