In this masterful portrait of life in Savannah before, during, and after
the Civil War, prize-winning historian Jacqueline Jones transports
readers to the balmy, raucous streets of that fabled Southern port city.
Here is a subtle and rich social history that weaves together stories of
the everyday lives of blacks and whites, rich and poor, men and women
from all walks of life confronting the transformations that would alter
their city forever. Deeply researched and vividly written, Saving
Savannah is an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the
Civil War years.
