Savannah Revisited History & Architecture
By Mills Lane
Hardcover, 252 pp
From the Publisher:
This is the fifth edition of a classic portrait of Savannah, Georgia’s 18th-century capital and 19th-century cotton port. For one hundred years, between 1793, when Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin on a nearby plantation, and the 1890’s when cotton prices collapsed and brought an end to the region’s agrarian empire, Savannah was one of the great ports of the South’s cotton kingdom.
This handsome gift volume surveys in words and pictures the early and colorful history o the colonial outpost, the development of its extraordinary town plan and dignified architecture (to which Northerners made surprising contributions) and the city’s 20th-century decline and recent renewal. Savannah Revisited is a rare documentary record, with some two hundred pictures – historic prints and maps and photographs of buildings – and eyewitness accounts that give us glimpses of daily life as well as historic struggles.
