Summary
On Sunday mornings, church bells ring, calling all
denominations, and Savannah's squares are filled with people
and activities. The city embraces music, art, and literature,
and the historic district welcomes visitors from all over the
world. As a port city, Savannah has always embraced diversity,
and that is what residents love about it. We are not losing our
Southern values and traditions; we are just sharing them.
Legendary Locals of Savannah introduces readers to people who
braved the Atlantic Ocean to establish the Georgia colony,
entrepreneurs who made a fortune in cotton, and black citizens
who struggled through slavery and later fought for civil
rights. Liberty boys who plotted the Revolution, families who
lived in mansions, boys who fought bravely for the Confederate
cause, and those who insisted on preserving our beautiful
historic district--they all have a story to tell. **
