dependent upon it. especially bundling as a result of this program with more efficiencies and hospitals. and it should be productive and right now i think it's the latest study that i thought that said that the care organizations were managing this and they weren't getting a new shared saving the net. so it hasn't proved out yet to be a boon in this particular model of efficiency. >> thank you for coming.

afterwards on booktv on c-span2. and that is the top 10 best-selling books list according to the "los angeles times." >> next, history from pre-civil war to preconstruction. and we are automating large part of the boulevard. macon has its park. and they were laying it out with a load of cotton and headed towards the river to market downstream.

right through what the engineers could lay down and they simply wove this road into the layout of macon georgia. in a lot of ways, it serves as that a metaphor, as i said. the history cannot be told when we are blind. so many things have happened here and it is really relating to our past and present and our future and that is the old dusty road where khan was taken to the river. this park is named after rosa parks. and now i would like to take you to some important places as well. and you can see the panorama of it and also to rose hill cemetery. a beautiful cemetery where things and people come together

and in 803, when the lantana was purchased, president thomas jefferson said that we need a good road to go down to new orleans. or tennessee through tennessee and the mountains and it's kind of strange and difficult. and so he said there is the lotus retraining pass and they built that 6-foot ride road and one of the first federal projects and they didn't have money, and so any way they built

the road in 20 years later with a series of treaties making was founded in 1823 and one of the important churches here in may 10 is the presbyterian church. it was built in 1858 and they had two previous churches. but that was built in 1858 when he played the organ there and his flute as well. he was a young confederate private and he also talks about the war from a completely different perspective. he was captured and put in prison point lookout and contracted tuberculosis there and they are very difficult and they wrote some of the most beautiful poetry that was ever

written ♪ >> we are headed up towards the antebellum house over there on the right. it is an antebellum home that was built by the railroad magnate and they would send cotton down in the late 1830s and they built this house and later sold it to joseph on, the largest slaveholder in georgia.

in most houses were like this of chorus and it sits on the top of this hill and you can see the rest of macon when they were captured were actually surrendered, the war was actually over in april of 1865 and joseph barnes was killed before the war and one of his overseers had abused the slaves and he was chastised with the overseer that pulled out a

pistol and kill the gentleman that on this house. and as the war came to an end, this house was requisitioned by the general. james harrison wilson who is the general that captured macon and he chose this house for his resident and they were forced to move out. so we are heading up towards college street, which they go down towards the river and then down at the river is the cemetery, which is where we are heading else in 1840. actually named up your the fellow who was a newspaper editor. and it was modeled after cemeteries in the northeast where he had come from.

one of the most beautiful spots in all of macon was turned into a cemetery back in those days and in the early part of the 19th century, cemeteries were parks and the brothers loved to spend time there. some of their songs came from here in rose hill around this corner i hear. little martha, one of the songs that you can see right there. and they talked a lot about the railroad and getting on the railroad and leaving all of that. and the railroad went right through here. members of the band unfortunately got in a wreck here one of the interesting

stories that has a current nature to it is the story of the tracy family here in macon, georgia. he is replicated on this sign here talks about his life and he was a brigadier general and buried here in rose hill. his father was the second mayor of macon in 1825 and actually hosted general lafayette when he came through macon at about that same time in 1825 red but the family was originally from new york and edward tracy junior had a brother and he was a major in the confederate army and fighting with generally and virginia and he was killed.

and it hurts about how this worked. so francis tracy, the cousin came down and found the body and dress him up like a federal officer and there was a lot of hostility on both sides about the enemies.

and all of a sudden there was a brouhaha about a confederate officer being buried there and some say that he is the only officer, confederate officer buried above the mason dixon line. but it's interesting that all of a sudden this thing that happened 150 years ago would engender such discussions and debate and research. it was a fascinating time in many men were killed at that time. it was in the most vicious, one of the worst wars that had ever happened in this country. .. ..
