Summary: A Buckhead Native's Comments
Review: As a native Atlantan who grew up in Buckhead, I read Ms. Barnard's book with great interest. While my initial reason for picking it up was the hope that I might discover some leads on tracing my family ancestry (which I did), I found myself skipping around in the book and haven't found a passage yet that failed to catch my interest. Even though the story of Buckhead could easily be done in multiple volumes, Ms. Barnard has successfully summarized the history of the area in a very concise and interesting manner, managing to hit the high points as well as the lows. The Buckhead area has grown almost beyond belief, today being almost unimaginably different from my childhood in the 50's. More than once I found myself wishing for the simpler days, and Ms. Barnard managed to help me resurrect many memories long forgotten. A very satisfying book. Thanks to Ms. Barnard for writing it!
