Spalding has taught history at the University of Georgia since 1966 and has published widely in the general field of Georgia history. He edited the state's historical journal, the Georgia Historical Quarterly, from 1973-80 as the successor of E. Merton Coulter, and has held important positions in the state's premiere historic preservation organization as well. In the final analysis, Spalding is probably as well qualified as any, bearing in mind his long experience and demonstrated affection for the state, to introduce this American Guide Series volume reprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of South Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44128121094259,"sku":"9.78087E+12","price":62.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_90af30e4-9bf3-4b16-acf7-6c8d620c693e.jpg?v=1764853469","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/georgia-the-wpa-guide-to-its-towns-and-countryside-9780872497078","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
