Historic America: The South
Author: Brooks Robards.
Format: 216 x 280mm, 144 pages. Over 150 rare duotone photographs.

America’s South has a fascinating history that interweaves hope and promise, poverty and plenty, simplicity and sophistication—set against a landscape of diverse but unparalleled beauty. Today, the South is a world-renowned vacation paradise; few visitors are aware of its rich history. Haunted by the Civil War and scarred by the institution of slavery, the South has overcome considerable adversity. Expressions of creativity and spirituality have flourished in this region as in few others.
