Product Information

This stunning, fully illustrated history of the Georgia Capitol not only pays tribute to a grand old edifice but also vividly recounts the history that was made--and that continues to be made--within and without its walls. The Georgia Capitol is a place where, for more than a century, legislators have debated, governors have proclaimed, and courts have ruled. It is also a place where countless ordinary citizens have gathered in lively tour groups, angry protest mobs, and at times solemn funeral processions. As Timothy J. Crimmins and Anne H. Farrisee move through the major periods in the Capitol's history, they tell three interwoven stories. One is a tale of the building itself, its predecessors, its design and construction, its occasionally ill-considered renovations, and the magnificent, decade-long restoration begun in 1996. Also revealed is how the gradual accumulation of statues, flags, portraits, and civic rituals and pageants has added new layers of meaning to an already symbolic structure. The third story the authors tell is of the legislative and judicial battles that sought to limit or extend democratic freedoms. Some of these events were high drama: fisticuffs during a prohibition debate, Eugene Talmadge's strong-arm eviction of the state treasurer from the statehouse, the Three Governors Controversy, and an African American protest in the segregated cafeteria. From the laying of the cornerstone in 1885 to the present, successive generations of Georgians have created a distinctive history in and around the Capitol as they have exercised, or sought to gain, their rights. Today the Georgia Capitol remains a working center of state government, and its history continues to unfold.

    Seller dispatched in approx 24hr. Book as described & all arrived fine as it was perfectly packaged for an international trip from the US to me in the UK. Padded envelope with thick cardboard spacer to keep the paperback straight and the book was snuggly wrapped in a plastic sheet to keep corners tight & unbumped. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and I wish all sellers shipped books like this. It makes me so happy when sellers pay attention to details - nothing excessive, just perfect. Book even smelt nice :)

    A very trustworthy and communicative seller! The price of the books he sold me was so incredible, that I couldn't believe it until I received them. Books arrived in amazing condition (better than the photos conveyed) and the price and speed of shipping was the best I think I've had on eBay -- books arrived over 20 days before they were supposed to! Will buy from this seller again if I see an item I would like.

    The item was as described ("like new"), was dispatched with alacrity and received much earlier than expected. Packaging was exceptional, demonstrating a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. All of this for an item that was priced to be a significant value. This seller gets my highest recommendation.
