Roaming Northwest Georgia

This book gives you plans for a week of entertainment, relaxation, fun, history to be viewed, and good food within walking or driving distance of your home, if you live in Northwest Georgia. Rome, Floyd County, and the Northwest Georgia mountains promise a week that you will remember as hassle free. No reservations to make, no packing, no plane tickets to purchase, no mail and paper to stop, no family and neighbors to inform, no prescriptions to get, no pets to leave, and on and on of things THAT YOU MUST NOT FORGET. If you don't live here it invites you to come and enjoy theses things with us. It details seven days of places to visit, how to get there, places to eat, and interesting details about each place. The history of Indians, Civil War, Colleges, and places of nature will help you enjoy this beautiful area. I read "Roaming Northwest Georgia" expecting it to be a travel guide for a week's vacation in and near Rome, Georgia. The book is much more than a travel guide. It provides a geographical study of Rome, Floyd County, and much of the surrounding area. There are daily history lessons for those who choose to follow this guide. You will find information about Native Americans, the founders of Rome, the Civil War, a president's wife with family roots in Rome, the founding of Berry College, and the building of a power generating plant at Rocky Mountain. All of this is found in this book - and much more. Steve Johnson, Educator Elizabeth Wooten moved to Georgia thirty-seven years ago and doesn't plan to move again. The beauty of the North Georgia Mountains, the rich heritage, and the interesting history of this area have made her a devoted Georgian. Her other books are about Georgia and the South.
