Georgia

We Georgians are a new people as races of men are measured in time, but the land we call our home is an old land. Much has happened here in eons past; massive mountain ranges were upthrust and worn down again before the Rockies and the Andes were ever born; the inflow of mighty oceans and their slow subsiding gave us the patterns and the contours of the land as we know it today. —Harold H. Martin, from the Preface
