Download or read book Lady from Savannah: The Life Of Juliette Low written by Gladys Denny Shultz and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiography tells the story of Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts of the USA with the help of Sir Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting Movement. But this is much more than the story of one woman and the organization she started: it is first of all a chronicle of two great American families—the Kinzies, who were founders of Chicago, and the Gordons, whose name is magic to this day in Savannah, Georgia—that in 1860 produced the gallant, willful, exasperating, generous, and wholly lovable Juliette (known as Daisy) Gordon. The narrative of Daisy's marriage to Willy Low also offers insider's view of Edwardian high society in England. The Girl Scouts are most particularly proud that this woman from a background of wealth and privilege was able to envision a youth movement “for the girls of all America,” which serves a membership of ever-increasing diversity as the diversity of our country grows.

Book Synopsis Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by : John Berendt
Download or read book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Book excerpt: Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low and Lou Henry Hoover, first president of Girl Scouts, are two of seven paper dolls featured in this, the first of a three-part paper doll history of Girl Scout uniforms.Melissa, who joins Low's first troop in Savannah, and her younger cousin Erin tell the story of the early years of scouting, 1912–28, through their diary entries. They write of troop activities as well as the growing Girl Scout movement nationwide, and they give us a glimpse into the everyday life of young girls during that time period.Twelve uniforms and a variety of other historic fashions are detailed in full color. Each uniform is complete with accessories, pins, awards, and badges. This is the first paper doll book to show the uniforms in full color, making it an important addition to the printed history of the Girl Scouts.November 1918It's just the best news imaginable—the Armistice has been signed and the war is officially over at last! Miss Daisy is so proud of all the work her Girl Scouts have done across the nation to help the war effort. As soon as the War Service Award was introduced in our Girl Scout Magazine, The Rally, last March, many, many girls began working to earn the points necessary to receive the award. The girls in our patrol have knitted items to give to the Red Cross (we were amazed when we realized just how much time and effort is required to knit up two pounds of wool, but as we imagined our own brothers sitting in France with cold, wet feet, our needles began flying faster and faster), and several managed to preserve the required 50 containers of jelly or jam this past summer. Georgia peaches make THE BEST!
