This antique volume, The Story of Georgia and the Georgia People, offers a richly detailed account of Georgia’s history from its founding through the mid-19th century. Written by George Gilman Smith, D.D. and published in 1900 in Macon, Georgia, this complete single-volume work blends historical narrative with period illustrations that bring the era to life.
Bound in its original maroon cloth with gilt titling on the spine, the book reflects the craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century American publishing. An early owner’s handwritten inscription is present on a front page, adding a layer of personal history and authenticity.
