His roots were there, having been born in Atlanta in 1868, and he was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1888. Perhaps his father, George Walton Knight, who was a Confederate general, lawyer, and cotton merchant, nursed his love for the South. Whatever the reason, Knight's affection for the history and people of his native state was never far from his heart. An accomplished attorney, newspaperman, and minister, Knight hopscotched professionally from one vocation to another. He left the legal profession to join the Atlanta Constitution . That began a series of moves landing him in Washington, D.C., Europe, Los Angeles, and finally back to Georgia. In a seemingly perfect fit of interest and skill, he became archivist of Georgia state records in 1913. In the preface of Georgia's Landmarks, Memorials, and Legends, Knight recounts his research adventures in uncovering the wealth of information contained in the compilation. Four years of his leisure time were spent poring over court documents, old newspaper articles, and burial ground tombstones, all to accurately recount the history of his beloved home state. Originally published in 1913 and 1914, this work stands as an accurate historical reference of Georgia at that time. He died in 1933 at the age of sixty-five and is remembered in the American National Biography as a writer, poet, historian, speaker, and master of ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 624\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.48 x 9.12 x 5.94 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43424092553283,"sku":"9781565549982","price":47.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store7994.com\/products\/georgias-landmarks-memorials-and-legends-vol-1-part-1-paperback","provider":"STORE 7994","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
