Download or read book Comprehensive Index to Low Country Historian written by Buddy Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of space limitations in the published volume Low Country Historian by Buddy Sullivan, it has been necessary to issue this expanded Index as a separate, supplementary publication to accommodate the numerous additional reference citations. It should be noted that a shortened, abbreviated, index is also included within the main book that contains page citations to topical subjects that are sub-indexed-- for example, Sapelo Island, Darien, Harris Neck, cotton cultivation, etc.-- along with those to places, personages and events that are important components of the history of McIntosh County and coastal Georgia. All of these are also included in this supplement. The hundreds of additional citations in this publication provide reference to virtually every person, place or event discussed in the main book. Thus, this is a comprehensive reference tool to what is an equally comprehensive study to various aspects of the history, ecology, and culture of the author's selected case studies of the Georgia low country.

Download or read book Georgia written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia's past has diverged from the nation's and given the state and its people a distinctive culture and character. Some of the best, and the worst, aspects of American and Southern history can be found in the story of what is arguably the most important state in the South. Yet just as clearly Georgia has not always followed the road traveled by the rest of the nation and the region. Explaining the common and divergent paths that make us who we are is one reason the Georgia Historical Society has collaborated with Buddy Sullivan and Arcadia Publishing to produce Georgia: A State History, the first full-length history of the state produced in nearly a generation. Sullivan's lively account draws upon the vast archival and photographic collections of the Georgia Historical Society to trace the development of Georgia's politics, economy, and society and relates the stories of the people, both great and small, who shaped our destiny. This book opens a window on our rich and sometimes tragic past and reveals to all of us the fascinating complexity of what it means to be a Georgian. The Georgia Historical Society was founded in 1839 and is headquartered in Savannah. The Society tells the story of Georgia by preserving records and artifacts, by publishing and encouraging research and scholarship, and by implementing educational and outreach programs. This book is the latest in a long line of distinguished publications produced by the Society that promote a better understanding of Georgia history and the people who make it.

Book Synopsis Harris Neck and Its Environs by : Buddy Sullivan
Download or read book Harris Neck and Its Environs written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph comprising a survey of the history of Harris Neck, interwoven with that of the northeastern and central sections of McIntosh County, Georgia, is largely extrapolated from my research from 2016 to 2019 contained in two books--a revised and expanded edition of the county history, Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater, and a new volume, Environmental Influences on Life & Labor in McIntosh County, Georgia. The thematic intent of this study rests upon land use patterns and land ownership during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the section under discussion. While Harris Neck is the area most extensively covered, there is ample material relating to tracts, settlements and land use along the South Newport and Sapelo rivers, and the central sections of McIntosh County, including the settlements of Eulonia, Fairhope and Pine Harbor.
Download or read book Darien, Georgia written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Darien is the second oldest settled municipality in Georgiawith a history and culture as diverse as any in the state. Its origins lay in its founding by Highland Scots, and that Scottish legacy has transcended almost three centuries. Darien's history is unique in that it experienced a series of devastating economic downturns in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, yet made remarkable recoveries each time to become an even more prosperous community. In addition, Darien suffered the travails of war--it was burned to the ground by federal forces in 1863, yet rebuilt and prospered economically for the next forty years as one of the leading exporters of raw timber and processed lumber in the United States, exemplifying a new industrial economy that succeeded its former antebellum agricultural economy, and reflecting the changing dynamics of a "new South" in the postbellum era."--Page 4 of cover
Book Synopsis The Darien Journal of John Girardeau Legare, Ricegrower by : John Girardeau Legare
Download or read book The Darien Journal of John Girardeau Legare, Ricegrower written by John Girardeau Legare and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1877, John Girardeau Legare of Adams Run, South Carolina, arrived in Darien on the Georgia tidewater. Legare managed Darien-area rice plantations, first at Generals Island, then at Champneys. Nearby was Butler's Island, made famous by Fanny Kemble Butler in her antebellum Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation. Legare also served as the clerk of the city of Darien during the first three decades of the twentieth century, maintaining detailed records of public business and documenting local commercial and civic affairs. Almost to the day of his death in 1932, Legare kept a journal containing his observations and commentary on the development of Darien as a center for timber exports and the gradual decline of the rice industry. South Carolina and Georgia led the world in rice production in the mid-nineteenth century, and Legare's detailed accounts of planting and management provide one of the outstanding contemporary sources for what was becoming a vanishing way of life in tidewater Georgia. Legare's journals are a microcosmic history of Darien and its environs during a time that was perhaps the most compelling in the town's history. The industrial development of Darien in the postbellum era was the essence of Henry Grady's vision of the progressive New South, a factor not lost on Legare. He reflects on the difficulties associated with rice planting; Darien's soaring, then plummeting, fortunes with yellow pine timber; prominent community members; and the development of local railroads. Legare records these developments against the larger backdrop of America, as his journal contains many observations on contemporary national events. Buddy Sullivan has placed the Journal in context with an introduction and comprehensive endnotes identifying the people and events referred to by Legare. There is also considerable African American history in the volume, as reflected both in Legare's writings and in the editor's introduction and supplementary notes.

Download or read book Sapelo Island written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The barrier islands of the south Atlantic coastline have for years held a deep attraction for all who have come into contact with them. Few, however, can compare with the mystique of Sapelo Island, Georgia. This unique semitropical paradise evokes a time long forgotten, when antebellum cotton plantations dominated her landscape, all worked by hundreds of black slaves, the descendants of whom have lived in quiet solitude on the island for generations. For more than 50 years of the twentieth century, two millionaires held sway on Sapelo, and it is their story, interwoven with that of the island's residents, that unfolds within the pages of this book. Almost 200 photographs provide testimony to the dynamic forces and energies implanted upon Sapelo by two men, Howard E. Coffin, a Detroit automotive pioneer, and Richard J. Reynolds Jr., heir to a huge North Carolina tobacco fortune. Beginning with a photographic essay about Sapelo's antebellum plantation owner, Thomas Spalding, Sapelo Island moves into the primary focus of the story, the years from 1912 to 1964, an era of grandeur that has left a rich photographic legacy.

Download or read book Richmond Hill written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When automotive pioneer Henry Ford burst upon the scene in 1925, Ways Station was hardly more than an assemblage of modest residences, a store or two, and a post office. Spurred by the energies and vision of Ford, an army of agricultural, industrial, medical, and educational experts from Dearborn, Michigan, transformed the area into one of the most productive, vibrant communities on the southern tidewater. Ford employed hundreds of area residents to farm 85,000 acres along the Ogeechee River. He also established sawmills, lumberyards, and agricultural experiment stations. He provided the impetus for schools and educational programs and introduced 20thcentury medicine to the area. By 1941 and the eve of World War II, Ways Station had become Richmond Hill and had attained the peak of its renewed enterprise. Since that time, the community has been called "the town Henry Ford built."

Book Synopsis Twentieth Century Sapelo Island by : Buddy Sullivan
Download or read book Twentieth Century Sapelo Island written by Buddy Sullivan and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is another in a continuing series of studies incorporating the theme of environmental influences on life and labor in McIntosh County, Georgia. Previous volumes have covered rice cultivation in the Altamaha delta, and barrier island agriculture as embodied in the ecological awareness of Thomas Spalding of Sapelo. The present study looks at Sapelo Island from a twentieth century perspective, covering a time span of 1912 to 2015. Herein are four separate stories within the overall story: that of Howard E. Coffin, Detroit industrialist who owned most of Sapelo from 1912 to 1934; Richard J. Reynolds, Jr., at Sapelo from 1934 to 1964; scientific research at Sapelo Island from 1953 onward, resulting in a new understanding of the salt marsh ecosystem; and the human dimension as seen through the twentieth century generational and cultural legacy of the people of Sapelo, many of whose ancestors were enslaved laborers on the antebellum island plantations. Theirs is a story of permanence and perseverance on Sapelo and it will be told here, often from a personal perspective.
