Sleeper uses Augusta s political heritage as a springboard in the exploration of the many faces of this dynamic city." |
Contributor Bio(s): Sleeper, Frank H.: - Augusta contains a wealth of images, from the businesses on Water Street during its heyday, to the Augusta Millionaires semi-pro baseball team, to daily life as it has been lived over the past century. It introduces us to the doers and shakers in Augusta s history, and follows the development of the city s Franco-American community. |
