Klappentext
"At the beginning of the twentieth century, the citizens of Macon had good reason to be proud of their metropolis on the Ocmulgee River. Along with bustling commercial and industrial sectors, the city had elegant homes, stately churches and refined institutions of higher learning. Macon appeared to embody the very best of the Old and New South. But there was a fly in the ointment. By the early 1900s, saloons, gambling houses and brothels were operating unabated throughout the city. In response, city officials tried to corral all forms of vice, particularly prostitution, within a restricted district. The city's ministers, however, refused to ignore the issue and organized a crusade against the underworld. Author Phillip Andrew Gibbs tracks the long and spirited fight for the soul of this Georgia city." -- Back cover.
