About the Georgia Trilogy series

Price's final series, the Georgia Trilogy continues the real Mackay/Stiles family story from the Savannah Quartet forward into the Civil War and its aftermath, following the next generation as the war reshapes the coastal Georgia world Price had spent two decades documenting. Published between 1991 and 1995, it closes out the loosely connected, multi-generational family saga that runs from the Florida Trilogy through the Savannah Quartet into this final set of three novels. As with the rest of her work, Price grounds the trilogy in real people and documented events rather than invented drama, carrying her research-first approach to Southern historical fiction through to the end of her career.
