Starr Smith's Southern Scenes: Journeys Through a Lovely Land by Starr Smith

Here are thirty vivid and loving stories (and over one hunderd b/w photos) of Southern places and people, covering ten states. No ordinary travel book, Smith writes from personal experience of the highways and byways, cities and countryside - from serene Beaufort, South Carolina, to New Orleans, his favorite city in the world. A former NBC Radio reporter, Smith writes in a crisp broadcaster's prose with a storyteller's flair.
