Being a new resident of Georgia, it was very informative to the history of this great state.

Autographed by the author, I’ve had this book quite awhile and recently decided to read it to learn a little Georgia history. Mostly political leaders as one might expect, Zell Miller relied on a number of biographers but produced some interesting personal details, including an inordinate number of duels, which seemed to be the de riguer for solving arguments.
