Gone
With the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
Sometimes only remembered for the epic motion picture and "Frankly
... I don't give a damn," Gone with the Wind was initially a compelling
and entertaining novel. It was the sweeping story of tangled passions and
the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil
War that brought those cinematic scenes to life. The reason the movie became
so popular was the strength of its characters--Scarlett O'Hara, Rhett Butler,
and Ashley Wilkes--all created here by the deft hand of Margaret Mitchell,
in this, her first novel.

Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn : A Saga of Race and Family
by Gary M. Pomerantz
In Atlanta, a city hyped during the 1996 Olympics as the South's most
progressive city, Peachtree Street is the main commercial avenue of white
business power; Auburn Street, known as Sweet Auburn, is the old center
of the city's black community. Their intersection is rather insignificant,
a fact mirrored in the racial segregation that has always characterized
Atlantan society. Pomerantz has traced the history of the city, and the
development of race relations from the city's founding to the present day,
through the experiences of two emblematic and influential families: that
of Ivan Allen Jr., a white mayor in the 60's; and that of Maynard H. Jackson,
the city's first black mayor. The result is a vividly humanized and objective
history. Amazon.com

the Guardianship of the Nation: The Freedmen's Bureau and the Reconstruction
of Georgia, 1865-1870
by Paul A. Cimbala
Card catalog description The Freedmen's Bureau, established
by Congress in 1865, was born of the expansion of federal power during
the Civil War and the Union's desire to protect and provide for the South's
emancipated slaves. Established in Georgia during late 1865 and 1866, the
Bureau was positioned to play a crucial role in the implementation of Reconstruction
policy, translating directives, laws, and constitutional guarantees into
the new reality promised by emancipation. In the end, however, the agency
failed to leave a lasting impression on the state. Georgia's citizens were
left to themselves to work out their new social, political, and economic
arrangements. The ineffectiveness of the Bureau in Georgia and other southern
states has often been blamed on the racism of its northern administrators,
but the explanation of its failure is not so simple. Paul A. Cimbala shows
a more complex picture of Reconstruction and the Bureau by examining the
intellectual underpinnings of the men who ran the agency and how they organized
their command, by exploring the personal stories of men who faced the problems
of Reconstruction at the local level, by presenting a detailed account
of the events that transpired along the Georgia coast in the Sherman Reservation,
and by assessing the agency's work in education, relief, civil rights,
and labor.

Wild
Card Quilt: Taking a Chance on Home
by Janisse Ray
Book Description: Seventeen years after leaving home "for good," self-sufficient
single mother Janisse Ray leaves her comfortable life in Montana to revisit
her cracker origins. Craving a life built on "land, history, and blood,"
she moves into the family's rundown 1920s farmhouse in Baxley, Georgia.
There she rediscovers the nearly lost pleasures of country life - a Thanksgiving
syrup boil, alligator trapping, and neighbors - as well as family skirmishes.
Wild Card Quilt is the story of her return and the adventures that follow
as she ponders whether she will stay in Baxley "and die where seven generations
of grandmothers had died" before her.
