The City in the Forest, Atlanta was a spot found in the wilderness
of north Georgia for the end of a railroad line. It was thought few
people would stay here, because most would be passing through to
somewhere else. Instead, the people remained and the town grew,
growing from Terminus to Marthasville to Atlanta. The city was
defined by the rail lines, and for that reason, General William T.
Sherman came with the Civil War. After he left the city in ruins,
Atlanta rebuilt, rising from the ashes, raising a brave and
beautiful city. With a selection of fine historic images from his
best-selling book, Historic Photos of Atlanta, Michael
Rose provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on
the growth and development of Atlanta. For a century and a half,
Atlanta has been the southern city on the move, a town of
railroads, business and trade—putting up and pulling
down—airplanes and highways, America’s team and international
Olympics. Along the way, professional and amateur photographers
have documented Atlanta’s rich visual history. This
volume, Remembering Atlanta, presents over 100 images
of the city’s past, including views of its streets, the people
who called it home, and the life, look, and feel of Atlanta.
