This volume breaks the mold for the traditional history of a county by placing the story within the transformation not only of a specific region within Georgia but the South as a whole. It does so in a convincing, coherent way. -- Paul M. Pressly * author of On the Rim of the Caribbean: Colonial Georgia and the British Atlantic World * Gagnon and Hild are to be commended for assembling such a broad spectrum of topics that offer deep insights into Gwinnett County, and frankly, Georgia, history. -- George Justice * author of Courthouses of Georgia * While this book is specifically targeted at academic scholars, the history buff may find this book an interesting and informative read, as it gives a deep scholarly account of some of the more interesting oddities of Gwinnetts history, such as the MARTA saga or the story of Gwinnett as reluctant to secede from the Union...This book would be an excellent addition to the university library with departments or majors in Appalachian studies, Georgia history, urban studies, or anthropology with a focus on Georgia or the American South. -- William Brogdon * Georgia Library Quarterly *
