Fast, Informative, Intriguing Read, December 18, 2007

Lisa M. Russell "Lisa M. Russell" (White, GA) |
"The Historic Oakland Cemetery of Atlanta:Speaking Stones", like most of History Press' publications, is content laidened and complimented with photographs. There is so much to learn in this book, it left me wanting more -- which is a good thing! I learned so much about Atlanta history from the author's descriptions of the headstones in Oakland Cemetery.It was easy to put together a historical outline from her narrative. I like the way she turned each tombstone into a story, which ultimately is how we want our lives to be remembered. The Author pays tribute to these lives and makes us care, which is more than most history books accomplish. History Press appears to have a motive to keep local history alive. This book certainly accomplishes that, it keeps these men and woman live who now lie in Oakland Cemetary.
As Administrator of the Georgia Writers Association, many books come across my desk for nomination in the Georgia Author of the Year Awards.When this book came in, I had to take it home to read it. I bring many books home, yet finish very few. I read this book cover to cover. It is a great read. Every historical site in Atlanta should sell this book. It is better than having a real live tour guide. It would be a great book for someone coming to Atlanta and wants to see the real story of Atlanta. |
