"A History of Sautee Nacoochee is a complete local Georgia history that's intended to be a "readily accessible compendium of useful information about the valleys." Indeed, Jones has compiled a vast amount of information into a "narrative that identifies historical contexts; documents and incorporates site-specific information; and strives to illuminate the lives of the people who, over many centuries of human occupation and in many different ways, contributed to making Sautee Nacoochee what it is today." The manuscript traces thousands of years of history in the valleys, covering culture and environment all the way up to the current push for preservation and is a comprehensive collection designed for locals, historians, genealogists, and anyone interested in Georgia's natural, political, and economic past"--
