Description: Georgia Odyssey is a panoramic survey of Georgia history, from British colony to international business mecca, from Jim Crow to Jimmy Carter, from Gone with the Wind to the 1990s.

Originally published as part of The New Georgia Guide, this expanded version of Georgia Odyssey is an essential text for students and scholars. Historian James C. Cobb, a Georgia native, debunks familiar myths and reveals new insights in his interpretation of the state's complex past.

Not all of the past is pleasant to recall, Cobb notes, but any attempt to understand the character and personality of contemporary Georgia must take into account its sometimes disturbing, sometimes appealing, but always rich and eventful historical odyssey.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [135]-142) and index.
Based on the author's essay Georgia odyssey which first appeared in 1996 in The new Georgia guide.
