USA - The South (PDF Chapter)

This is the South chapter from Lonely Planet’s USA guidebook.

Arguably the first region of the USA to be considered its own distinct place, the South is de-fined by its cuisine, landscape, accent, literature, music and, undergirding all of the above, histo-ry – one that is long and beautiful in places, brutal and bloody in others.
