The city was defined by the rail lines, and for that reason, General William T. Sherman came with the Civil War. After he left the city in ruins, Atlanta rebuilt, rising from the ashes, raising a brave and beautiful city.For a century and a half, Atlanta has been the southern city on the move, a town of railroads, business and trade-putting up and pulling down--airplanes and highways, America's team and international Olympics.

This volume, Historic Photos of Atlanta, presents nearly two hundred images of the city's past, including views of its streets, the people who called it home, and the life, look, and feel of Atlanta.
