Atlanta; the thriving capital of the New South; has a rich and fascinating history. In Atlanta Scenes; authors Kimberly S. Blass and Michael Rose draw from the works of some of the city�s earliest and finest photojournalists�Francis Price; Marion Johnson; Bill Wilson; and Kenneth Rogers�to bring that history to life. Atlanta Scenes documents some of the city�s noteworthy events; personalities; and landmarks; many of which will be readily identifiable. The images range from the everyday (baseball games at Ponce de Leon Ballpark; boys on bicycles; and Humane Society dog rescues) to the eventful (the Gone with the Wind premiere; the deadly Winecoff Hotel fire; and the infamous Leo Frank trial). Many scenes reflect the iconography of the Old South; while others provide insight into the harsh realities of twentieth-century life. In this volume; well-crafted; artistic images blend with on-the-spot action shots.
