Song Of The Chattahoochee Comments

I am not from the south. I was born and raised in northern lands - near the great Lake Michigan. When I moved to Atlanta in my 30's I visited Lake Lanier - then sought out the small creeks and tributaries where the river begins. I read about Sidney Lanier and his poem Song Of The Chattahoochee. I think every child in GA schools should learn about this poem and, if possible, visit Helen, GA where it flows through the city.

Missouri is my home now, between the Black and Current rivers, but the Chattahoochee still calls to me from my birth home in Georgia.
