Touring the Backroads of North and South Georgia

Touring Georgia's Backroads

"the book is a delight"--The Chattanooga Free-Press

Touring the Backroads of
North and South Georgia
by Victoria and Frank Logue

The 15 tours in this book--the ninth volume in John F. Blair's Touring the Backroads Series-- hold surprises even for longtime Georgia residents. Avoiding major thoroughfares wherever possible, they seek out hidden treasures--scenic vistas, people famous or colorful, the tangible reminders or the tales they left behind. Both a touring guide and an informal history primer, it is sure to satisfy residents, visitors, and armchair travelers alike.

"Written as a lively narrative, Touring the Backroads of North and South Georgia
explores the best kept secrets of the Georgia countryside with humor and style."
--Georgia Historical Quarterly

The book will include approximately 75 black and white photographs as well as maps of all the drives.
