A dry wind from the Savannah River pushes a sweet, slightly sharp scent of tobacco down Factors Walk as a small group peels off toward the city squares. The guide lights a cigar and the first stories begin—smugglers and merchants, duels on cobblestones, and the odd mayor whose ambitions outpaced his pockets. The tour threads through iron-fronted buildings, passes Christ Church’s brick walls, and ends beneath the live oaks of Chippewa Square where the statue of General Oglethorpe watches the conversation.
