TOUCH OF GEORGIA

by Cecil Murphey, Judy Rogers

Overview

From the nearly 900,000-acre Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest to the Spanish-moss-tinged coastline to the black-watered Okefenokee Swamp, Georgia is a state of beauty and contrast. And set in the midst of Georgia is its gem of a capital, Atlanta—host of the 1996 Summer Olympics.
