Description
In 2015 almost fourteen million tourists visited Savannah, Georgia. The city is rated in the travel media as one of the top 10 tourist destinations in America and by many as one of the top 10 in the world. Millions come every year to be immersed in the history, the culture and the general ambiance of this beautiful city. Many U.S. presidents, soon to be presidents and ex-presidents have also visited Savannah. Some have come to vacation, others to campaign in elections, several to mark historical events, and still others to attend conferences. Several spent several days in the city and others just an hour or two. All, even one who had in the past been a hated enemy, have received a warm and gracious Savannah welcome. "Hail To The Chiefs, Y'all!; Presidential Visits to Savannah, Georgia" is a history of those visits beginning with that of the nation's first president, George Washington to the most recent presidential visitor, Barack Obama.
