Synopsis

Known as America's Greatest Little City, LaGrange has seen its share of triumph and glory. Julia Traylor Dyar, beloved local history columnist, unravels LaGrange history decade by decade, beginning in 1890 and ending in 1980. From the first automobile that awakened this once sleepy village to LaGrange's appearance in the epic classic Gone With the Wind, this storied history is bound to delight residents and visitors alike. Dyar paints a vivid portrait of life in this tightknit Georgia community through themes of hospitality, education and change.

Julia Traylor Dyar is a fifth-generation resident of Troup County, Georgia. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in French from LaGrange College in 1946. After her marriage to the youngest weekly newspaper editor in Georgia, the late Hubert Lenhardt Dyar, in 1948, she began writing a weekly column and was associate editor of the Royston (Georgia) Record for ten years.
