About the Author

Stephen Wallace Taylor and Matthew Jennings, history professors at Middle Georgia State College, have selected striking and poignant images from several repositories to tell Macon's story. The narratives, images, and captions attempt to express the soul of the city. Macon is looking forward, no doubt. But as it does so, the city must come to grips with the challenges of the past, even as it revels in former glories. This illustrated history conveys that beautiful struggle and shows the real Macon.
