hen Atlanta's own Robert ("Bobby") Tyre ones Jr. tackled the remarkable feat of ning what golfers now dub the "Grand Slam" in 1930, Georgia's nickname should have been changed from the "Peach State" to the "Golf State." Golfing has long been well established in Georgia; the Savannah Golf Club, which was founded in Georgia in 1794, was Georgia's first club and America's second. Georgia has a proud tradition of competitive golfe rs; the quality of players coming out of the state during the early part of the century was unparalleled. Alexa Stirling Fraser, born and r~ised in Atlanta, was the North American amateur golf champion, winning three consecutive U.S. Women 's Amateur Golf Championships beginning in 1916. Charlie Yates, another Atlantan, won consecutive Georgia S' tate Amateur tournaments in 1931 and 1932, as wel l as the British Amateur in 1938. But it was Jones' victories in the four major championships and subsequent retirement from competitive golf that prompted him to build his ideal go lf course in Georgia, as homage to the treasured links at St. Andrews in Scotland, the home of the game. Along with his fr iend Clifford Roberts, who suggested a former horticultural nursery as the site, and architect Dr. Al ister Mackenzie, Jones built Augusta National Golf Club.

enough to get tickets, are privy to Augusta National each year in April during the Masters Golf Tournament, the first of today's four major tournaments. Add to your knowledge of Georgia golf history in Augusta with a stop at the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame's botanical gardens.
However, Georgia golf isn't only about green jackets and azaleas. The state's varied topography, from the coastal plain through the piedmont to the mountains, provides golfers of all skill levels with varied and challenging layouts on Georgia's 494 golf courses.
Georgia's 18 Most Challenging Holes
Georgia is known for its wealth of world-class private courses, many of which have played host to golf's most prestigious events-most notably the Masters ' at Augusta National. The state is also blessed with an array of exceptional publicaccess layouts ranked among the best and most challenging in the U.S.
This list includes no more than one hole per course and features many of Georgia's most outstanding designs created by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Robert Trent Jones as well as Georgia-based designers Bob Cupp and Denis Griffiths. This is our assessment of Georgia's most challenging holes on public-access layouts, arranged in a standard par-72 format (four par 3s, 10 par 4s and four par Ss). The course measures a little more than 7,450 yards from the tips, almost exactly the yardage of the newly lengthened Augusta National.
1. Stone Mountain Golf Club (Stonemont course), Stone Mountain, Hole #1 Par 4, 451 yards
Arguably the most difficult opening hole in the state, this rolling, treelined monster has ample length, a sloping fairway and a large, elevated green that makes getting anywhere near front-pin positions a real test, even on pitch shots from close range.
2. St. Marlo Country Club, Duluth, Hole #2 Par 4, 474 yards
There is ample fairway down the left side, but a menacing bunker and out-of-bounds area to the right are easily within reach of fades or slices off the tee. A wide, undulating green is zealously guarded by a group of bunkers, obstructing the view of the approach shot. GEORGIA.ORG / 1-800-VISIT GA

3. Cherokee Run Golf Club, Conyers, Hole #12 Par 5, 536 yards
Tee shots have a way of finding the trees along the fairway, and the lay-up shot to a sloping landing area is no bargain. This is followed by an intimidating third over a scrub area to a green with little depth but plenty of surrounding trouble.
4. Goshen Plantation Golf Club, Augusta, Hole #4 Par 3, 253 yards
For those who think No. 12 at Augusta National is scary, try this south-Augusta terror. The hole is all carry over water, with the blue tees a brutal 220 yards. The enormous green is around 75 yards wide, and the hole is exposed to the wind.
5. Emerald Pointe Golf Club, Lake Lanier Islands, Hole #14 Par 4, 436 yards
The tee shot must avoid a steep hill left of the fairway while staying out of the trees down the right side. The lengthy second shot ranks among the toughest anywhere, with the hill still in play, a severe drop-off heading in the direction of Lake Lanier and precious little landing area short of the putting surface.
6. The Golf Club at Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee, Eatonton, Hole #9 Par 4 , 480 yards
One of the state's most heralded courses includes two huge par 4s that conclude the two nines-both of which are essentially par Ss for the average golfer. There is plenty of room off the tee, but two of the ragged, Scottish-style bunkers that give the course its unique feel are very much in play on the second shot, with the green sloping away in several spots.
7. Harbor Club, Greensboro, Hole #17 Par 3, 180 yards
A second selection from the golfer's paradise of Lake Oconee, it's another all -carry "short" hole, with the lake bordering the wide, shallow green to the front and right. Bunkers behind the putting surface are not a recommended bailout, but there is some dry land to the left for the faint-hearted.
8. Chestatee Golf Club, Dawsonville, Hole #8 Par 4, 460 yards
There is ample fairway to the left, but the lake to the right still serves as a magnet for mis-hit tee shots. A finger of the lake, as well as a larg e bunker, must be carried on the long second.
Official Geo rgia Travel Guide 11

9. Meadow Links at George T. Bagby, Fort Gaines, Hole #18 Par 5, 555 yards
Water lurks unseen down the left side of this gem of a hole on one of the state's most remote but highly regarded layouts. There is room down the right to set up a delicate downhill third shot over water, while the more adventurous can aim left off the tee and consider going for the green in two.
10. Cobblestone Golf Course, Acworth, Hole #11 Par 4 , 436 yards
One of a trio of par 4s on this spectacular municipal course. A lake borders the right side of the hole beginning in the land ing area, hugging the edge of the large putting surface that includes a lower level near a bunker that is almost as penal as the water hazard across the green.
11. Bear's Best Atlanta, Hole #11 Par 3, 193 yards
The course consists of 18 replica holes of Jack Nicklaus layouts, and this particular one comes from his design at the PGA Golf Club in south Florida. Another all-carry par 3, with the only bailout room to the left of a green with m inimal depth, the 11th hole at Bear's Best is Jack's Muirfield Village homage to Augusta National's 12th.
12. University of Georgia Golf Course, Athens, Hole #12 Par 5, 523 yard s
Water lines the right side of this scenic but scary hole, with the third shot having to cross the lake after an exacting lay-up shot. It's vital to avoid mounds to the left of the fairway that are very inviting to aim at but not nearly as welcome a spot fqr the perilous approach.
13. Jekyll Island Golf Club (Oleander course), Hole #12 Par 4 , 443 yards
Typically playing into the ocean breezes, it's all the hole you wanteven with a very generous fairway, bi sected by water, that is in play for only the longest hitters. A long second shot into the wind is no picn ic, with a bunker along the right side of the green getting plenty of play.
12 Official Georgia Travel Gu ide

14. Barnsley Gardens Resort, Adairsville, Hole #14 Par 3, 227 yards
One of the state's most picturesque holes but also one of its most dangerous. The sharp downhill tee shot must carry a pond that has beckoned thousands of balls to a watery grave. Enjoy the splendid view of nearby mountains from the tee, even if you 're digging into your bag for another ball.
15. Callaway Gardens (Mountain View course), Pine Mountain, Hole #15 Par 5, 539 yards
The signature hole from the former host course for the PGA Tour Southern Open. A steep hill left of the fairway will redirect tee shots back into play and allow you to aim away from water to the right, which must be dealt with on the third shot. The lay-up area short of the water includes some uneven lies than can make the short third to an elevated green much more difficult than the yardage, with the hole responsible for a record number of chunked short irons.
16. Chateau Elan Golf Club (Chateau course), Braselton, Hole #14 Par 4, 428 yards
The hole begins from an elevated tee with a drive that must negotiate trees on either side. But the real challenge begins with the second shot to a tripletier green, with a tiny but hazardous waterfall looming not far from the right edge of the putting surface. The design of the green, which is cut between a hillside to the left and the waterfall to the right, can make for some interesting short-game shots.
17. Houston Lake Country Club, Perry, Hole #18 Par 4, 393 yards
Among the state's great finishing holes, the tee shot must carry Houston Lake at an angle, with players electing to bite off as much as they can chew. The water is also in play on the approach, guarding the length of the right side of the green. Bunkers also must be negotiated.
18. Sea Island Golf Club (Seaside course), St. Simons, Hole #18 Par 4, 439 yards
Seaside's 18th generally plays into the wind coming off the ocean, with bunkers on either side of the fairway and the famous sa nd dunes a little farther left for those who play too much of a hook. Water creeps into play short and left of the putting surface, which is flanked by a pair of the layout's deep, greenside bunkers that will give your sand game a workout.

Hunter House, Madison

i/ig sets the stage for small-town nostalgia he enduring all-American image of main streets and town squares, places for meeting and greeting neighbors and getting the latest news and gossip. In Georgia, towns like Savannah, Thomaston and Rome have been preserved and revitalized, making them thriving symbols of Southern hospitality combined with unique architecture. Once a boomtown during the country's first gold rush in 1828, Dahlonega is similar to many Southern county seats, where the courthouse was built in the center of the square. Now home to the Dahlonega Gold Museum, the red brick building is still a center of activity. Nearby is the Historic Hawkins Street neighborhood, listed on the National Register
14 Official Georgia Travel Guide

of Historic Places. Here you can see the Holly Theater and Buisson Arts Center, both good examples of Great Depressionera community projects.
Another neighborhood to check out is in Rome, a city southwest of Dahlonega that was built by the Coosa River on the site of a Cherokee Indian village. Designated a Great American Main Street City by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Rome's Broad Street is the second widest main street in Georgia and blends historic buildings with contemporary needs. Take in a play at the DeSoto Theatre, for instance. Built in 1929, the DeSoto Theatre's Greco-Roman exterior, modeled after New York's Roxy, complements the art-deco marquee and the symmetry of the Georgian interior. Or visit the famous clock tower, the
GEORGIA.ORG / 1-800-VISI r GA

city's signature landmark, wh ich has been an accurate timekeeper since 1872.
To experience lifestyles of the 1800s, head south and visit Roswell's historic homes. Open for tours, Smith Plantation is a great example of a wealthy family 's home in early Georgia. Even the outbuildings are original. Or tour Bulloch Hall, a 160-year-old, white-columned Greek Revival house and the childhood home of President Teddy Roosevelt's mother. Finally, examine Mimosa Hall, which was originally built in 1842. Having been constructed of wood, it burned down soon after completion, only to be rebuilt with stuccocovered brick, then scored to emulate a stone structure. Mimosa Hall was completed again in 1847.
Drive through Atlanta and stop in Decatur. The South Candler Street section, also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is said to represent the best Victorian architecture in the town. While there, walk across the campus of Agnes Scott, a women's liberal arts college founded in 1889. Just recently, the college spent $1.6 million renovating three Victorian homes for student housing.
From Decatur, drive to another college campus in Athens, which is home to the University of Georgia and is pulsing with youthful energy and a vibrant music scene. Don 't miss the Federal-style Church-Waddel-Brumby House, which some believe is the oldest surviving residence in Athens. This was due to its early-1970 rescue, which actually started the town's historic preservation movement. The Ware-Lyndon House, bu ilt in 1856, is another on the National Register of Historic Places and is one of the few antebellum homes with Italianate elements (modeled after 16th-century Italian villas) remaining in the Athens area. The Greek Revival Taylor-Grady House, with its 13 columns representing the original 13 colonies, should be on your list as well.
Located approximately half an hour from Athens is Madison, a town spared from the torch of the Union Army, making it a treasurJ trove of pre-Civil War and Victorian architecture. In 2001, Madison was voted " No. 1 Small Town in America " by Travel Holiday magazine. Visitors can explore the Piedmont Plain-style Rogers House/ Rose Cottage, built circa 1809-a fine example of the rural Southern, "two-overtwo" style. Or examine the details of the Greek Revival-style Heritage Hall-the only home in town with four columns bordered by two square piers. Heritage Hall is also noted for its window etchings in most of its rooms.
A bit farther east takes you to Greensboro. This town 's center offers multitudes of antebellum homes and churches, as well as an example of stately revival architecture in the Greene County Courthouse. Each downtown building represents a piece of the arch itecture in Southern hist ory, and
GEORGIA.ORG / 1-800-VISIT GA

now lends its interior to a clothing, jewelry or antique shop. Heading west, be sure to drive through the mule capital
of the South, Thomaston, which has been named one of America's best small towns for escaping fast-paced city life. Based on the court-square layout, the neoclassical Revival -style Upson County Courthouse was built in 1908 and is topped by a clock tower and gold dome. The downtown barbershop, with its striped pole, and the refurbished deco-style Ritz movie theater are still a draw for residents and visitors alike who appreciate the comfort of knowing everyone.
Americus is a bigger small town. Visitors can recreate the past by staying at the circa 1892 Victorian-style Windsor Hotel, with its spires, towers and period-style rooms, or by taking in a show at the Rylander Theatre, built in 1919 with ornate plasterwork, murals and beautiful stencils. The Historic Driving Tour encompasses 40 antebellum and Victorian sites, while SAM Shortline excursions provide rides on vintagerestored railroad cars which hit si x stops from Cordele to Archery, including Americus. Habitat for Human ity was founded in Americus in 1976. The organ ization has since built and rehabilitated more than 200,000 houses with and for people in need .

Savannah, with stately moss-draped live oaks lining the boulevards, represents the essence of Southern gentility and is credited as the country's first planned city. Its 21 historic squares are surrounded by restored Greek Revival- and Regency-style homes, providing visitors with extensive opportunities to tour the beauty of the Old South. Post-Civil War years brought a preservation movement to the city, which led to the Historic Savannah Foundation. Broughton Street, a main Savannah street, has recently been revived and is coming to life with theaters, boutiques, restaurants and art galleries.
Also along the coast is Brunswick, the "Gateway to the Golden Isles," founded in 1771 . Built on the same grid plan as Savannah, this bustling port city reflects its English heritage by such street and square names as Prince, Newcastle and Halifax. Old Town Brunswick boasts Victorian commercial buildings, grand homes, and bed and breakfast inns.
When it comes to quality of life, these towns have learned how to make the most of their assets, so revisit the best qualities of the past or slow down the present by exploring the main streets and town squares of Georgia .

Georgia and barbecue go hand-in-hand
BY STE V E STORE Y

' 4 ~ verybody has the right to think whose food
is most gorgeous, and I nominate Georgia 's." .... ..Ogden Nash, 7933. Perhaps no food is more gorgeous-to a Georgian at least-than a plate of smoky barbecue pork with a side of coleslaw and a bowl of Brunswick stew. The people of the Peach State are passionate about their favorite 'cue and stew; they will drive past dozens of barbecue restaurants to get to that one place that prepares it just the way they want it. They w ill endlessly debate proper cooking techniques and the best barbecue sauce. They will dismiss unacceptable offerings thusly: "That isn 't barbecue-let me tell you where to get real barbecue!" In Georgia's earliest days, folks made barbecue by digg ing a hole, p iling in oak and hickory logs and burning them down to coals, and placing whole slaughtered pigs on a rack over the coals. (No doubt there was at least one Georgian at that first feast who afterward opined, "That wasn 't barbecue-let me tell you ...") Barbecue has since become the traditional food at community gatherings throughout the state. In Gone With
I
the Wind, when Margaret Mitchell described a barbecue at

Southern favorites: Barbecue and the outdoors
Twelve Oaks, she was describing a common, but nonetheless special , event in the South .
Barbecue came to be featured prominently in political gat herings. Said former Georgia governor Marvin Griffin after an unsuccessful comeback run in 1962, " Everybody that ate my barbecue I don 't believe voted for me." Like countless Southern politicians before him, Griffin had held campaign rallies featuring a barbecue feast, expecting that plates piled high with _smoke-anointed goodness would translate into votes on elect ion day. He knew that barbecue would draw a crowd in Georgia, but, as it turned out, it was a crowd with far more devotion to barbecue than to him.
The close mi x of barbecue and politics holds true to this day. Each year's session of the Georgia General Assembly opens with a "Wi ld Hog Supper." During the remainder of the year, many a barbecue place is known as a hangout for local politicians. One Georgia county even has a Republ ican barbecue place and a Democrat barbecue place. Sconyer's BBQ in Augusta keeps all politic ians happy. It has made trips to both the Little White House (the former home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt) in Warm Springs and th e White House in Washington, D.C.
Why do Georgians refer to a barbecue "place" rather than a restaurant? It goes back to the tradition of barbecue as a special event, one that typically happened outdoors on a weekend or a holiday rather than every day. The place was where the hole was dug, and the hole might be dug in a d ifferent place for the next barbecue.
GEORGIA.ORG / 1-800-VISIT GA

Today, most Georgia barbecue is found in , yes, restaurants. Yet there remain a few places that hark back to the earlier traditions . Some are only open on weekends, a reminder that barbecue was once a treat for special days and not an everyday food . Some operate out of buildings that are more shack than restaurant, recalling the temporary and irregular nature of the barbecue "place." Many a place grew into a restaurant because of its local popularity, gradually adding a Thursday, then a Wednesday .. . until it eventually stayed open all week.
Some of the traditional places began their growth early. Zeb's Place near Danielsville and Harold's in Atlanta both began in 1947. Fincher's in Macon and Jimbo's in Homerville opened in the 1930s. Fresh Air Bar-B-Q in Jackson started up in 1929, while Sprayberry's in Newnan dates back to 1926.
The traditional cooking method varies little across Georgia : essentia lly pork is cooked slowly, using low heat and hardwood smoke. The pit may be open or closed and it may be indoors or out. Once cooked, the meat may be chopped, chipped, sliced or pulled, but it must have the flavor and aroma of wood smoke to be true 'cue.
It's often the sauce that distinguishes a barbecue place. By far the most common sauce in Georgia is tomatoor ketchup-based, but it varies widely in thickness, sweetness and spiciness . Mustard-based sauces, popular in west Georgia, can sometimes also be had elsewhere in the state. Vinegar-based tomato sauces are found all over, sometimes sporting a strong black-pepper flavor.

Barbecue smoker
Occasionally there's the option of eastern North Carolinastyle vinegar and pepper sauce (no tomatoes), but it's hardly ever any place's only choice.
On the side of the barbecue will be Brunswick stew (in some places it's so delicious that folks order it as the main course). In east Georgia , instead of stew, you might find barbecue hash, with or without rice, or an interesting regional concoction called chicken mull.
Whether the barbecue comes from a roadside shack or a pork palace, whether it comes with stew or hash, whether it is favored by Republicans or Democrats, if it's Georgia's, it's gorgeous!

he American Civil War changed Georgia and its landscape forever, and the events are both remarkable and tragic. Its effect on Georgia was greater than any other event in its history, with some 11,000 Georgians killed ~nd more than 100,000 total casualties between 1861 and 1865. However, there were also more than 460,000 others emancipated by the war's end. These numbers are especially remarkable considering, with the exception of the sea islands, Georgia did not become a battleground until the middle of the war. After Georgia seceded from the Union in 1861, more than 100,000 Georgians initially fought in the Confederate army, and many leaders called Georgia home, including: Alexander H. Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy; Robert Toombs, secretary of state for the Confederacy and a general; and James Longstreet, second in command to Robert E. Lee. The homes of both Stephens and Toombs are museums and open to th e public; A. H. Stephens

Fort Pulaski, Savannah
State Park is in Crawfordville, and Robert Toombs' home is in Washington.
For the first three years of the war, instead of contributing battlefields, Georgia provided transportation, war materials and food . The plantations and factories sent timber, cotton, corn, hogs, uniforms and munitions for the Army and Navy, and the extensive network of railroads delivered them throughout the South. The Tunnel Hill Heritage Center and Railroad Tunnel (in Tunnel Hill, near Dalton) is on the path of the Great Locomotive Chase, and the surrounding area was once occupied by both Union and Confederate troops. Although you can 't use the railroad network today, you can still relive these monumental events just by hitting the road.
Located in the Appalachian foothills is Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, a 5,000-acre battlefield. Observe the monuments, markers and guns that pay silent homage to one of the most epochal struggles in the War Between the States. Your self-guided tour will be

enhanced with use of the site's audiotape, which describes the three-day conflict resulting in 34,000 Union and Confederate casualties. Because of this high number of losses, Chickamauga is considered the second bloodiest battle in the Civil War.
To reach one of the most complete Civil War battlefields of the 1864 Atlanta Campaign, head south toward Atlanta to find Kennesaw National Battlefield Park. Tours and a short film are provided at the visitor center. As part of the 2,888-acre park are hiking trails, recreation areas and picnicking areas . Another Atlanta site and park, Stone Mounta in, is home to the world 's largest relief sculpture of Civil War leaders. The granite carving even surpasses the size of Mount Rushmore.
For a true understanding of the war, drive into the city and visit the Atlanta History Center's award-winning exhibition: "Turning Point: The American Civil War." This permanent display is one of the nation's largest and most comprehensive exhibits. As you tour the gallery filled with artifacts, photos, documents and more, the era will come alive for you and help deepen your understanding of this historical conflict.
While you're in Atlanta, tour the Cyclorama at Grant Park to see the world 's largest painting of the Battle of Atlanta. Accompanied by music, lighting, sound effects and narration , the painting is made to seem like reality.
Due west in Dallas, you'll find the Pickett's Mill Battlefield State Historic Site, one of the best-preserved Civil War battlefields in existence. Visitors can travel roads used by Federal and Confederate troops, see earthworks constructed by these men, and walk through the same ravine where hundreds died.
Farther south is Milledgeville, Georgia's capital during the Civil War (from 1803 to 1868). It was one of two planned capital cities in the United States; the other being Washington, D.C. The Old Governor's Mansion and the Old Capitol and Legislative Chambers are available for touring . The historic district boasts more than 200 architectural landmarks, with more than a dozen identified on the National Register of Historic Places.
To experience the Civil War from a maritime perspective, visit the Port Columbus National Civil War Naval Museum located in Columbus, which features 40,000 square feet of exhibits. Remains of two original Confederate Navy ships anchor the displays along with full -sized reconstructions of parts of three other famous ships, including the USS Monitor. Visitors can enter an ironclad ship and experience a combat scene through the nation's only Civil War ironclad-combat simulator.
Because the approach-from-the-sea tactic was a major pa rt of the war, don 't miss the sites off coastal

Georgia. First, go to the Fort Pulaski National Monument in Savannah. Named for General Casim ir Pulaski, who lost his life in the unsuccessful siege of Savannah in 1779, Fort Pulaski was built between 1829 and the mid-1840s on Cockspur Island to guard the shores around Savannah. Occupied by Confederate troops in 1861, the fort fell to Union forces in April 1862 when they overcame the fort using rifled cannons for the first time in warfare.
Located on the south bank of the Great Ogeechee River, Fort McAllister State Park in Richmond Hill is home to the best-preserved earthwork fort ification of the Confederacy. The sand and mud earthworks were attacked seven times by Union ironclads, but did not fall until captured in 1864 by General William T. Sherman during his infamous " March to the Sea ." The Brown House in Sandersville is where General Sherman spent the night on his way to Savannah and is open to tours. Before the general arrived in Savannah, the city decided to surrender in hopes of saving itself from
Port Columbus National Civil War Naval Museum, Columbus Official Georgia Travel Guide 21

burning. The efforts worked, and Sherman instead gave the city to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift.
For a complete view of the Civil War, it is important to get the perspective of its prisoners. To do so, be sure to visit the infamous Andersonville Prison and the National Prisoner of War Museum near Americus. During the prison's 14 month lifespan, more than 45,000 Un ion soldiers were incarcerated. Of these, almost 13,000 died from disease, poor sanitation, malnutrition, overcrowding or exposure to the elements.
To go back in time to May 10, 1865, when Federal troops captured Confederate President Jefferson Davis, drive southeast toward lrwinville. With his arrest, the government of the Confederate States of America was disbanded. Today, the 13-acr~ Jefferson Davis Historic Site marks the spot where Davis was arrested.
A bright spot in all the information about battles and prisoners is the story of Fitzgerald. This town was settled by Union and Confederate soldiers together. The Blue and Gray Museum displays memorabilia from both sides and tells of the city's history.
Use these sites to explore Georgia's Civil War history and relive the fascinating and heroic stories. From Chickamauga to the Atlanta Campaign and Sherman's March to the Sea, Georgia has a wealth of battlefields, cemeteries, arsenals, museums and stories that will come to life.

trike a t un ing fork against t he red Georgia lay. The sounds will reverberate and resonate a long ti m e. To say t hat most form s of American popular music originated here is not much of an exaggeration. Other places have certain ly contributed to the big repertoire, but Georgia boasts an astonishing number of diverse music pioneers and revo lutionaries. We're talking about those blessedly unconventional experimenters who dared to bend a note backward, or "worry it," as Georgia soul bal ladeer Otis Redding would say, and who created a whole new art form in the process. Don't tell the Nashville slickers, but the first country record was cut in Atlanta by Fiddlin' John Carson, a mountain man who swathed his instrument in a f lour sack. In 1923 he sang into an Okeh microphone " The Old Hen Cackled and the Rooster 's Going to Crow," wh ich promptly sold more than 500,000 copies. His heirs are numerous: Chet Atkins, boss of the "Nashvi lle Sound"; Ray Stevens, the clown prince from Clarkdale; honky-tonking Travis Tritt, a Hiram resident; Mont icello's Trisha Yea rwood, an advocate for pretty strivers everywhere; and Newnan's Alan Jackson, the bard of smalltown virtue. Rising Fawn's own Norman Blake is the bluegrass guitarist you hear on the Joan Baez version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ," and the Forester Sisters, Confederate Railroad, and T. Graham Brown also grew up around here. These days, Atlanta's newly minted Sugarland puts a country spin on gridlocked, boomtown angst. Around the time that Fiddlin' John got even the most conservative to buck-dance, another Georgian was organizing

the first big band and laying the groundwork for swing. Fletcher Henderson founded his orchestra in 1924 and soon afterward hired Louis Armstrong. The kicky arra ngements that ensued introduced the concept of swing, and Henderson became a statesman of jazz. Mischievous, gap-toothed Johnny Mercer wrote many of the era's most cherished lyrics, including " Moon River," reported ly inspired by coastal Georgia 's Back River. In the iconic 1958 photo, "A Great Day in Harlem," the barrel-chested man standing next to Thelonious Monk is Macon-native Emmett Berry, a soughtafter horn player who played on classic Billie Holiday recordings. And Joe Williams, the baritone smoothie who was a favorite Count Basie vocalist (and played Claire Huxtable's father on The Cosby Show) was from Cordele. Today, Scotty Barnhart, a trumpet scholar from Atlanta, carries on the jazz tradition in the Count Basie Orchestra.
"Georgia Tom" Dorsey of Villa Rica is known as the father of gospel music. After penning sa lty blues numbers such as " It's Tight Like That," he underwent a conversion

and wrote " Take My Hand, Precious Lord ," and other hymnal standards. More recently, Augusta native Amy Grant has crested Christian music charts. Augusta also produced opera-singer Jessye Norman, whose name was given to an amphitheater on the Augusta River. Gertrude " Ma " Rainey, of Columbus, was the "mother of the blues," accessorizing her act with an ostrich feather and a necklace of coins. Influential in blues music, Blind Willie McTell was born in Thomson, in McDuffie County. The county now hosts the Blind Willie McTell Blues Festival each May.
In the 1950s, Bill Lowery started a music company in Atlanta that produced a slew of hits, encompassing thoughtful pop (" Down in the Boondocks," "Games People Play"), disco ("I Love the Nightlife") and other unclassifiables ("Ahab the Arab") . Atlanta natives Joe South, Jerry Reed, Tommy Roe, and Valdosta's Billy Joe Royal were part of his stable. The dim inutive Brenda Lee, born in the charity ward at Grady Memorial Hospital, reached Billboard's pop, country, rhythm and blues, and adult contemporary charts 55 times in the 1960s, putting her in a league with Elvis. She was an early child star who grew up to warble songs like the Christmastime favorite, " Rockin ' Around the Christmas Tree." Country- rock experts generally agree that the alt-country movement was launched by Gram Parsons, the "waif from Waycross" who recorded with the Flying Burrito Brothers.
Albany's celebrated Ray Charles blended country and soaring gospel into rhythm and blues. In 1954, he recorded " I Got a Woman " (a secular twist on " I Got a Savior"). And in Macon, a tectonic shift was underway in the culture, with the sort of prime mover least expected from the conservative, segregated South. In 1955, the flamboyant " Little Richard " Penniman, having vogued and camped it up in minstrel shows such as "Sugarfoot Sam from Alabam," recorded "Tutti Frutti," a nonsensical novelty song that established him-in his own words-as " the originator, the emancipator, and the architect of rock 'n' roll." With his eyeliner, pancake makeup and capes, he was a caffeinated Liberace with soul, pummel ing his p i~no hard enough to, on occasion, break it.
Ironically, two of the vocalists hired to substitute for Little Richard in his band, the Upsetters, were James Brown and Otis Redding. Brown has racked up almost as many colorful nicknames as hits, including the "Godfather of Soul," but he also is ha iled as the founder of funk and a progenitor of hip-hop. Augusta honors their star with a statue and a brochure that highlights the sites and attractions of his life in the city. Billboard magazine has ranked two Redding compositions, "Dock of the Bay" and "Respect" among the top 20 tunes of the 20th century. The achingly soulful Redding was promoted by impresarios Phil and Alan Walden, who managed the largest group of touring R&B musicians of the era, including Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge and Joe Tex.

Otis Redding statue, Macon
A little later, Southern rock also blared from Macon under the aegis of the Walden brothers and Frank Fenter, who introduced the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Wet W illie and the Di xie Dregs to the world . Capricorn Records, situated in the navel of Georgia, created a zeitgeist within a zeitgeist-Deep South hippies. With racially diverse members, progressive politics, and a folksy corporate culture, these bands set new standards for hedonism. They mixed swamp boogie with rock beats, smoky blues, jazzy improvisation, and a little twang to forge "sonic integration ."
These sounds grew edgier and artier in Athens, where the B-52's, R.E.M. and Pylon transformed the post-punk scene. Later, Widespread Panic revitalized the Grateful Dead-style "jam" tradition in this Georgia town. On a folkier note, the scruffy-but-sensitive bars of Decatur have incubated the Indigo Girls, Shawn Mullins and John Mayer.
In the 1990s, Atlanta morphed from the " Motown of the South" to the "A-T-L," the capital of hip-hop's " Dirty South" and a dominating force in urban music. The roster of rappers and videogenic divas is long : OutKast, Arrested Development, TLC, Usher, Ludacris, Monica, Ciara , and India.Arie. Moguls Jermaine Dupri and Dallas Austin are the velvet-rope gatekeepers for this select society. The subgenres "crunk " and the " snap style" originated in Atlanta .
With so many hit-makers, then and now, no one should be surprised that Rolling Stone magazine ranked four Georgia natives among the top 50 "Immortals": Ray Charles, Otis Redding, James Brown and Little Richard. To hear the music and see the gear of these and other great Georgia musicians, make sure you check out the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon . You'll find music, memorabilia, instruments, costumes and more from more than 450 artists.
And for those who are not quite so talented, there is always the kazoo. It, too, was invented in Georgia.

On May 9, 1865,Jefferson Davis and his

Confederate troops, pursued by Union

troops, camped in an Irwinville pine forest.

That evening, two independent groups of

Union soldiers approached the can1psite in

search of Davis, but because neither group

knew the other's identity, they got into a

skirmish and two Union soldiers were

killed. Davis and his family were captured

the next morning.

The rivers' watersheds create exceptional farmland that has always figured prominently here. Alma/ Bacon County is the Blueberry Capital of Georgia, while Vidalia is famous for its signature onions. Fresh produce is sold from tiny roadside stands around every bend and from bustling markets like the Farm Fresh Tattnall co-op and the Market on Madison in Dublin . Perhaps the region's most surprising agricultural venture is Statesboro's Meinhardt Vineyards and Winery, proud bearer of its own label of muscadine wine.

History that Shaped the N ation

Start wit h a Civil War exploration at the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park-the nation 's first. Acquaint yourself with this hal lowed ground through historic disp lays, the renowned Fuller gun collection, a video and seven-mile battlefield auto tour.
From there, stop into historic Chickamauga for antiquing and lunch. There you 'll find the GordonLee Mansion, which was the only st ructure to survive the Battle of Chickamauga.
Head south to Highway 136, wlllere the Ridge & Valley Scenic Byway goes through the Chattahoochee National Forest past Georgia's oldest country store at Vil lanow.
Fol low Highway 136 to 1-75 southbound, and exit at the New Echota Stat e Historic Site to see the original Cherokee Nation capitol and t he cradle of the Trail of Tears. Discover the sophisticated Cherokee culture that was driven

out of Georgia in 1838, and visit the spot where the nation's only Native American newspaper, The Phoenix, was printed.
Continue on 1-75 for your overnight retreat at Barnsley Gardens Resort in Adairsville. Carved from Cherokee wilderness
by an English millionaire for his beloved Georgia bride, this grand 1840s estate is the romantic centerpiece for today 's lu xury resort. Re lax as you go horseback riding or fly fishing, or indulge yourself at the spa before an inspired meal at one of Barnsley's
fine resta urants. After dinner, rock on your

Center Stage
Performance art is alive and kickin ' in the little town of Colquitt, home to Swamp Gravy, the official folk life play of Georgia. Performers relate tales of love, life and everyday business with a Southern flair for drama and an indulgence in local lore. The performances do travel around the state, but for a truly authentic experience, catch a show at Colquitt's own Cotton Hall. The Peach State Summer Theatre in Valdosta, Georgia's official summer musical theater, presents Broadway-quality shows using both professional and student actors. Hits such as Chicago, Beauty and the Beast, and Seussica/ the Musical have received rave reviews at Valdosta State University's Sawyer Theatre.

Providence Canyon, Lumpkin Official Georgia Travel Guide

Happy Trails
Perhaps the area's most unique natural feature is Providence Canyon, known as Georgia 's " Little Grand Canyon ." At thi s 1,003-acre state conservation park, hikers can skirt the canyon's rim or delve deeper into the wilderness on backcountry trails and get a view of rare plants and stunning soil colorations. Campsites and cabins are also available at nearby Florence Marina State Park on the northern end of Lake Walter F. George, a great fishing and boating destination. Visitors can also hike the 23-mile Pine Mountain trail at F. D. Roosevelt State Park and enjoy the same sweeping ridge-top views and crystal-clear streams beloved by FDR.

Little Wh ite House g ift shop, Warm Springs
Warm Springs and the Little White House
Just as Franklin D. Roosevelt certainly left a lasting legacy in the town of Warm Springs, the town and its people also made a profound impression on FDR. Roosevelt 's personal experiences at the Little White House, and his interactions with the people eking out a living across the rural countryside of Western Georgia tremendously influenced his politi cal deci sions as president during a criti cal time in Amer ica 's history. This lead to some of the most innovative employment tactics of the Depression. The Little White House provides informative, colorful, and sometimes heart-wrenching insights into the man and his legacy. Here you can view a short film narrated by Walter Cronkite, describing one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. Tour the serene Little White House, wander the lush gardens, and visit the nearby pools where FDR found therapy for body and soul.
Jimmy Carter's Plains
The Jimmy Carter National Historic Site welcomes visitors to the former Plains High School, the building where Jimmy and wife Rosalynn received their elementary and high school educations. The rel-/abilitated building houses a museum highlighting different chapters and influences in the Carters' lives. Carter used the town 's oldest building, the 1888 depot, as his 1976 presidential campaign headquarters, and today it showcases memorabilia, political strategies and artifacts from that period. Carter's Boyhood Home and Farm, two miles away in Archery, sits on 15 of its original 360 acres and allows visitors a chance to tour the property and listen to recorded narrations by Carter.

Hills and Dales, LaGrange
Hills and Dales
The Neel Reid and Hal Hentz-designed masterpiece, Hills and Dales, is the extraordinary LaGrange home of Fuller E. Callaway Sr. and his wife Ida. Completed in 1916 on the site of the old Ferrell house, the mansion overlooks the formal boxwood gardens begun by Nancy and Sarah Ferre ll in the mid-1800s. Generations of the Callaways expanded and elaborated on the original gardens, and most recently, the entire estate was donated to the Fuller E. Callaway Foundation for enjoyment by the public.
