DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis account of the first president’s trip to unite a young America “follows Washington’s travels day-by-day with detailed information about each stop” (Daily Herald). Newly elected president George Washington set out to visit the new nation aware that he was the singular unifying figure in America. The journey’s finale was the Southern Tour, begun in March 1791. The long and arduous trek from the capital, Philadelphia, passed through seven states and the future Washington, DC. But the focus was on Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia. The president kept a rigorous schedule, enduring rugged roads and hazardous water crossings. His highly anticipated arrival in each destination was a community celebration with countless teas, parades, dinners, and dances. Author Warren Bingham reveals the history and lore of the most beloved American president and his survey of the newly formed southern United States. Includes photos

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Paul Theroux has spent fifty years crossing the globe, adventuring in the exotic, seeking the rich history and folklore of the far away. Now, for the first time, in his tenth travel book, Theroux explores a piece of America--the Deep South. He finds there a paradoxical place, full of incomparable music, unparalleled cuisine, and yet also some of the nation's worst schools, housing, and unemployment rates. It's these parts of the South, so often ignored, that have caught Theroux's keen traveler's eye."--

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAside from running a cozy little B&B in Georgia, the owners of The Firefly love two things: music and travel. They combined those two interests into a series of road trips that explore the roots of Southern music and all the unlikely places where that music sprang up. Whether you're an armchair traveler or a road warrior, you can follow along in their tire tracks and learn all about Southern music in its varied forms: rock and roll, R&B, pop, the Delta blues, Dixieland jazz, bluegrass, folk, salsa, and country. The trips mapped out in this book cover all the music capitals you'd expect, like Memphis, Nashville, and New Orleans, but many of the destinations will take you far off the beaten path. Along the way, you'll learn some surprising facts, such as: How 38 Special got its name Why it's a good idea to avoid Myrtle Beach in the springtime Who has the world's biggest collection of Carter Family albums What makes Muscle Shoals the recording capital of America Whether or not Jerry Lee Lewis really tried to shoot Elvis How to find the apartment building where R.E.M. practiced and annoyed the neighbors Where to listen to jazz in New Orleans while avoiding the French Quarter How yodeler Slim Whitman got his start and became a sensation in Europe Where to find the last surviving venues on the Chitlin' Circuit Why Britney Spears has a cultural museum exhibit named in her honor. If you're a music buff, you owe it to yourself to read what the authors have to say about Southern music. After that, pack your bags and hit the road to write yourself into the story.
