The Chattahoochee River has dramatically shaped the heritage of the lower Chattahoochee Valley of east and southeast Alabama and west and southwest Georgia. As the region's dominant geographic feature, the Chattahoochee has served residents of the area as an engine for commerce and as an important transportation route for centuries. It has also been a natural and recreational resource, as well as an inspiration for creativity. From the stream's role as one of the South's busiest trade routes to the dynamic array of water-powered industry it made possible, the river has been at the very center of the forces that have shaped the unique character of the area. A vital part of the community's past, present, and future, it binds the Chattahoochee Valley together as a distinctive region. Through a variety of images, including historic photographs, postcards, and artwork, this book illustrates the importance of the Chattahoochee River to the region it has helped sustain.

About the Author

Drawing from a wide range of private and public collections, Mike Bunn, associate curator of history at the Columbus Museum, and Doug Purcell, executive director of the Historic Chattahoochee Commission, have selected over 180 of the best images that document the river's place in the lower Chattahoochee Valley's history.

More History from the Southeast Hundreds of ornately decorated rooms, gardens and greenery and more--Walk through the history of the Biltmore Estate, one of America's many displays of personal wealth and decadence. Although Charleston's contemporary gardens are well documented in other sources, those of past generations are depicted here, reminding readers that Charleston was primarily a city of family homes where life was enjoyed in the garden. Once home to fishermen and well-to-do winter vacationers, the area's gulf beaches became a popular getaway for newly prosperous middle-class families, anxious to put war-weary years behind them. Within these pages, the story of Jekyll's transformation unfolds through historic photographs of the island, its early residents, and devoted beachcombers. Images of America: Biloxi showcases the city's history, including tales about the seafood and canning industries, immigration, religion, centuries of tourism, gambling, and diversity, as well as the Keesler Air Force Base. In 1941, Tuskegee, Alabama, was selected as the site of an important new development in military training. For the first time, black Americans were to be allowed to serve their country as members of the United States Army Air Corps.

Historic photographs tell the story of one of the largest shipyards on earth and exemplify what American hands are capable of creating. On November 20, 1968, the Farmington No. 9 mine explosion changed the course of safety for future mining and the lives of 78 families whose sons, husbands, fathers, and loved ones never came back from the cateye shift the next day. Since 1936, Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky, has represented the gentility and excitement of Thoroughbred horse racing. To central Kentuckians, it is an enduring part of their culture and a fun place for all generations. From a hot springs attraction to a central location for gangsters, gambling, moonshine and organized crime, trace the evolution of this "loose buckle in the Bible belt", now a resort and major tourist destination. The music that has been produced in Memphis over the past 100 years is as unique and diverse as the city itself. See how New Orleans became a place where several cultures met and blended to create a city and lifestyle unlike any in the United States.

    Nice Pictures, not as much information gained

    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2013
    Format: Paperback

    If you are looking to learn more about the history of the Lower Chattahoochee River, I would suggest purchasing a history book of the area. This is more about pictures from the past. The pictures are good, but not as varied as I thought they would be.
