A Damn Yankee Sees Georgia and the Civil War Echoes
The narrator tours Georgia at night riding Lookout Mountain and Rock City near Atlanta. He recalls Civil War history, Alexander Stephens, Robert Toombs, and Sherman’s Atlanta burning, then reflects on Georgia’s culture, tourism pitches, and a roadside stop with a waitress named Donna. Jefferson Davis’s 1865 capture is noted as the night ends near Atlanta.
