Savannah, Georgia Travel Guide - What To See & Do In 2012
Kindle version of our illustrated travel guide will take you to Savannah, Georgia.

Savannah, the historic riverside birthplace of Georgia, was settled in 1733 by British colonists led by General James Oglethorpe and Colonel William Bull. In 1864 when General William Tecumseh Sherman marched in, the mayor of Savannah gave Sherman's men run of the city in exchange for leaving it untorched. As a result, Savannah is one of the few major cities in the South with antebellum charm and architecture remaining intact. Savannah has one of the largest historic districts in the country.

Southerners joke that in Atlanta, the first thing locals ask you is your business; in Charleston, they ask your mother's maiden name; and in Savannah, they ask what you want to drink. It's partly that ethos that keeps the city tourism industry flourishing, along with a little help from what locals call "The Book:" Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (also a feature film ). The local art school, Savannah College of Art and Design, also keeps the city peopled with liberals and awash in accessible, affordable art.

Finding Internet access when out and about can be problematic so carry your mobile guidebook in the palm of your hand. We include a fully linked Table of Contents and internally to access context-specific information quickly and easily when offline. Many web links are included as well for additional information.

Slow Travels-Florida Slow Travels--Florida is the second in our new Slow Travels series. U.S. Highways 1, 27, 90, and 301 are followed through the State, examining a cross-section for Florida and providing a wealth of historical information along the way. In this second edition, we have added U.S. Highway 41's route along the Tamiami Trail, from Sarasota to Miami. Updated maps provide reference points along the way, and GPS Coordinates are included at the end of each route. The Slow Travels series encourages the driving tourist to take the slower paced route, and see the rich history which lies along that highway. Not only are the more popular sites examined, but you are also shown the many places in between those sites which are most often overlooked. 90% of our history is either distinguished by only a marker or no marker at all. That is the history most travelers are missing, and that is what the purpose of Caddo Publications USA is, to bring that missing history to everyone's attention.

Gainesville, Jacksonville, St. Augustine & Daytona: An Adventure Guide to Northern Florida "This wonderful guidebook is your passport to the 'other' Florida – one that's pretty much removed from the neon and the crowds." -- Vapor Trails.

It's wild. It's wonderful. You're going to meet colorful characters with rich tales, visit funky museums and learn things the history books don't tell you. Florida's relatively undiscovered northern regions are rich playing fields for hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, paddlers, divers, anglers and eco-travelers. This guide leads you through cypress swamps, barrier islands, prairies and hardwood hammocks. And you'll have a frontrow seat to watch the antics of manatees, river otters and ospreys. This guide has a full menu of adventures for young and old. It's a great resource, whether you're looking for an adrenaline rush or otherwise. So pack your gear and let's start exploring! Hike and backpack hundreds of trails. Bike the innumerable scenic trails. Dive to a ghostly wreck, paddle a jungle river, waterski with the pros, fish an abundant reef. Choose from dozens of horseback trails and see the region the way the first settlers saw it. Float your way across the area in a hot-air balloon. Learn to catch crabs by flashlight, throw a cast net, hoist a crab pot or trawl for shrimp. Also tells you where to stay, whether in a hotel, B&B, rental cottage or campground, plus all the places to eat worth mentioning along the way.

This is an excerpt from our larger guide to Northern Florida: Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Pensacola, Tallahassee & Beyond.

A Walking Tour of Jacksonville, Florida (Look Up, America!) There is no better way to see America than on foot. And there is no better way to appreciate what you are looking at than with a walking tour. Whether you are preparing for a road trip or just out to look at your own town in a new way, a downloadable walking tour is ready to explore when you are.

Each walking tour describes historical and architectural landmarks and provides pictures to help out when those pesky street addresses are missing. Every tour also includes a quick primer on identifying architectural styles seen on American streets.

Here. where the St Johns River turns east to make its final run to the Atlantic Ocean, the channel narrows enough that cattle were swim across the stream. The Spanish constructed a fort they Called St. Nicholas to guard the crossing in 1740 but to the English the area was always Cowford. After the Americans took control of Florida a section of Cowford on the north bank of the St. Johns River was named in honor of General Andrew Jackson, the first Territorial Governor. Jackson made it to the $20 bill but never made it to the small community that carried his name. Not many people did. Although streets were laid out by pioneers Isaiah Hart and Zachariah Hogan the population grew slowly.

Steamships began arriving in numbers in the late 1830s and by the Civil War Jacksonville was important enough for Union troops to lay siege to the town and sack it. Jacksonville built itself up after the war as a tourist destination but for the most part this would develop as a working town. Jacksonville claimed the largest naval-stores yard and largest wholesale lumber market on the Atlantic Coast. Although Tampa came to be called the "Cigar Capital of the World" the world's largest cigar factory under one roof, producing 10% of all American cigars, was in Jacksonville. The state's most important banks clustered here and the city, while excluded from the Florida land boom of the 1920s for the most part also missed the bust.

Today's Jacksonville streetscape dates to a single day - May 3, 1901. that afternoon, around lunchtime, a fire broke out in a mattress factory where bedding was stuffed with sun-dried Spanish moss. Workers discovered the fire quickly and assumed a few buckets of water would extinguish the flames and did not even bother to sound an alarm. But dry and windy conditions quickly pushed the fire beyond their control and out the front door. Before nightfall the blaze had consumed 146 city blocks, destroyed more than 2,000 buildings and left almost 10,000 people homeless, although there were only seven deaths reported. Jacksonville's 1901 Fire remains the most destructive burning of a Southern city in United States history.

Rebuilding of the city began in earnest. It is estimated that 13,000 new buildings were constructed between 1901 and 1912 in Jacksonville. New York City architect Henry John Klutho was responsible for many of the major construction projects in the city at that time. Klutho blended the new "Prairie Style" of architecture then being popularized in the American Midwest with Florida traditions that brought Jacksonville a fresh look for a new start in a new century.

Our walking tour of Florida's largest city (by population) and America's largest city (by land area) will find some of Klutho's work still standing and we will begin in the shadow of his most ambitious work...
