Past Times takes readers down “The Road to Secession”

The 2012 edition of Past Times, News Publishing Co.’s award-winning history magazine, is inserted in today’s home-delivered newspapers..

This year’s Past Times, “The Road to Secession,” is the first installment in a three year-series that explores the American Civil War in northwest Georgia and northeast Alabama.

The 60-page magazine includes locally-written stories and historic photographs from the period leading up to the votes for secession in Georgia and Alabama, and how that vote played out in Floyd, Gordon, Polk, Catoosa, Walker and Bartow counties in Georgia and Cherokee County in Alabama.
