    the book

    Buckhead is a magical neighborhood in north Atlanta that has come to be internationally known for its tree-canopied streets and among the most sought-after real estate in the country. Known to many as the "Beverly Hills of the South," Buckhead has been home to many of the South's most prestigious families and established companies. Originally a Native American river village, following the War of 1812 and seizure of the Creek Indian land by the federal government in 1821, settlers established the community known as Buck's Head by 1838. The ensuing one hundred and fifty years has seen the direct impact of several wars, the Depression, riots and murders, racial strife, the establishment of black neighborhoods, and its place today as an international business center and playground for Southern society. Whether a place to work, live, or play, Buckhead today remains "a place for all time."

    the author

    Susan Kessler Barnard is a native Atlantan and long-time resident of Buckhead whose involvement in social, cultural, and civic projects in the community led to her interest in Buckhead and its history. This interest was heightened when she worked at the Atlanta History Center. She has a degree in Journalism and Public Relations and is co-author of a history of Atlanta's First Presbyterian Church. Ms. Barnard has contributed articles to the Georgia Historical Quarterly, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and other publications.

    the praise

    "Here is a clear drawing—like a family tree—of a community's foundation, from wild and primitive wooded settlements, to an urbanization that sets Buckhead aside and envied by others around the country."—Sam Massell, President of the Buckhead Coalition and former Mayor of Atlanta

    "Informative and highly readable. Buckhead is a welcome addition to the literature of an important and colorful part of Georgia."—Franklin Garrett, Atlanta Historical Society
