Press Release: Pineridge Press Announces Black Friday Release of Crossroads of the New South

Pineridge Press will release The History of Telfair County, Volume Two: Crossroads of the New South by Hart Mizell on Friday, November 27. The Black Friday release continues Mizell’s study of Telfair County, examining its development after Reconstruction and its place in the changing South. The book will be available through Amazon.

Crossroads of the New South follows the remaking of county boundaries and communities, the relocation of the county seat to McRae, and the growing importance of transportation and public institutions in shaping local affairs. Through these developments, Mizell examines how broader changes associated with the New South took form within one Georgia county. The volume offers readers of local and regional history a detailed account of the relationships among geography, government, and community life.

The second volume builds upon the foundation established in The History of Telfair County, Volume One, extending the series into a new period of the county’s history. Readers may learn more about the series and other Pineridge Press publications at pineridgepressbooks.com.
