Nice Pictures; not as much information gainedBy alabamaspitfireIf you are looking to learn more about the history of the Lower Chattahoochee River; I would suggest purchasing a history book of the area. This is more about pictures from the past. The pictures are good; but not as varied as I thought they would be.
