AN AMERICAN LITERARY LANDSCAPE: LIFE, HISTORY, AND MEMORY IN PUTNAM COUNTY, GEORGIA [ONE OF AMERICA?S MOST COMPLEX LITERARY LANDSCAPES IS VIRTUALLY UNKNOWN TO MOST OF ITS CITIZENS, AND EVEN TO MOST RESIDENTS OF THE STATE IN WHICH IT EXISTS. THE BIRTHPLACE OF FIGURES AS DIVERSE AS JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS AND ALICE WALKER, PUTNAM COUNTY, GEORGIA, HAS A CURRENT POVERTY RATE OF 17% FOR THOSE UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN, ACCORDING TO THE 2010 CENSUS.
