Description: Wicked Macon by Phillip Andrew Gibbs Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Author Phillip Andrew Gibbs guides readers on a tour of Macons seedy underbelly. By the beginning of the twentieth century, Macon was coming of age. Numerous industries, banks and retail businesses dotted the citys landscape, and magnificent Greek Revival and Victorian homes graced the tree-lined streets of its affluent neighborhoods. For those who enjoyed the arts, there was the Grand Opera House which hosted operatic and theatre productions. The city was also home to two institutions of higher learning. To residents and visitors alike, Macon seemed to be a flourishing, sophisticated city well grounded in strong spiritual and moral principles. But there were flies in the ointment. Much to the dismay of the citys ministers and educators there was a vibrant sporting life in Macon. Pool halls, gambling houses, and saloons operated well within sight of the front steps of the citys churches. Worse yet, the city council had established in the early 1900s a red-light district known as Tybee that operated freely without interference from local authorities. Author Biography Phillip Andrew Gibbs is a professor emeritus of history at Middle Georgia State University. Although a native Virginian, he has lived and taught in Georgia since 1987. An avid tennis player, cyclist and traveler, he also works as a professional musician, performing regularly throughout the southeastern United States with the Georgia Chryslers, a rock, pop and R&B band. He lives in Kathleen, Georgia, with his wife, Penny; their dog, Jack; and Moe, the three-legged cat. This is his second book with The History Press.
