Need some help with Savannah, GA?

Question

Does anybody know a book with a good history of Savannah, GA? I also need to know the layout of the city....which streets have the oldest (antebellum) homes? Where was the market? It's for a novel I want to write. Thank you! :)

Answer 1

There's this:

Classic Savannah: History, Houses, and Gardens (Hardcover)
by William Robert Mitchell Jr

"This book does this singular city justice. It is full of vivid images and fascinating text. Savannah is one of those great cities of the South..like Galveston, Charleston, and New Orleans that retains its own uniqueness while staying true to its southern roots. It is refreshing that so many of Savannah's great old homes have survivied, so many of these homes are just spectacular. The gorgeous old city layed out by Oglethorpe is still intact and well perserved. Savannah takes great pride in its city and its continued restoration is testement to that fact. Wonderful book on a historic town."
