This Is My South: The Essential Guide to the Southern States, Globe Pequot Press 2018


You may think you know the South for its food, its people, its past, and its stories, but if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that the region tells far more than one tale. It is ever-evolving, open to interpretation, steeped in history and tradition, yet defined differently based on who you ask.

This Is My South inspires the reader to explore the Southern States––Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia––like never before. No other guide pulls together these states into one book in quite this way with a fresh perspective on can’t-miss landmarks, off-the-beaten path gems, tours for every interest, unique places to sleep, and classic restaurants. So come see for yourself and create your own experiences along the way!

The book won bronze in the Society of American Travel Writers’ Lowell Thomas Awards.

Leading beyond magnificent landscapes and seeking out history, culture, food, and people; Retrace the Underground Railroad, follow the Blues Highway, go on a pilgrimage to the best lobster shacks. The Great American Road Trip encourages readers to start an adventure of their own. So what are you waiting for? The road awaits…
