Book excerpt: "Georgia is a land of vivid contrasts--city and countryside, mountains and seashore grand plantations and small farms, progressive ideals and traditional values. Most of all, however, Georgia is its people. From the early days when James Oglethorpe first settled the territory to the violent years for the War Between the States, From Methodist founder John Wesley to President Jimmy Carter, Georgia's greatest treasure has been its people. Included here are stories of these people--ordinary citizens and leaders, men and women, whites, blacks and Indians, heroes and humanitarians, businessmen and politicians. The events and places that touched their lives are the subject of A Treasury of Georgia Tales." --From dust jacket.
