About the author
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce is a corporate author rather than an individual writer. Project Gutenberg lists it as the author of Atlanta: A Twentieth-Century City, a public-domain work connected with the organization’s efforts to document and promote the city.
The book is best approached as a historical and civic portrait assembled from an institutional point of view. That makes it useful not just for its facts, but for the window it gives into Atlanta’s self-image, business culture, and public storytelling at the time it was published.
Because this is an organization and not a single person, a standard personal biography and portrait are not really applicable.
