Download or read book Richmond Hill and Bryan County, Georgia written by Buddy Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 2024-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryan County is a community in the Georgia coastal low country with a rich history spanning two and a half centuries. Located just south of Savannah, the county has evolved through a succession of eras encompassing colonial settlement, antebellum rice culture, the ravages of civil war, economic growth through railroads and turpentine production centered on the county seat at Pembroke, and a twenty-five-year association with automotive magnate Henry Ford who developed multiple cultural and agricultural activities around the town that became present-day Richmond Hill. Author Buddy Sullivan has documented the historical, cultural, and much of the genealogical history of the pioneer families of Bryan County in this updated volume originally issued in 2000. It should be of value to anyone researching the history of the Georgia coastal region. As illustrated by the front cover, this book will be of special interest to those interested in the antebellum plantation culture embracing the rice planting technology of the low country, as well as the stories of the families associated with the "rice aristocracy" of the southeast Atlantic coast. This is the most comprehensive history of Bryan County, Georgia and its environs ever published.

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 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."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A location between Savannah and Statesboro encouraged the town of Pembroke to grow into a hub of commercial activity. Timber and turpentine from the Georgia pine forests, as well as cotton, were the main commercial activities of the early town. The city of Pembroke began as a result of the extension of the Savannah and Western Railroad through the upper part of Bryan County in 1889. The town's first resident was M.E. Carter, a member of the railroad construction crew, who lived in a box car that was switched off at a siding; Carter would later serve as mayor of Pembroke. By the late 1890s, substantial permanent buildings were being constructed, and by 1900, Pembroke was the commercial center of Bryan County. It was incorporated as a city in 1905, and the next 20 years saw Pembroke develop into a prosperous town, with the formation of the first bank in Bryan County, a school, and many businesses.

Download or read book Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom written by William Craft and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1848 William and Ellen Craft made one of the most daring and remarkable escapes in the history of slavery in America. With fair-skinned Ellen in the guise of a white male planter and William posing as her servant, the Crafts traveled by rail and ship--in plain sight and relative luxury--from bondage in Macon, Georgia, to freedom first in Philadelphia, then Boston, and ultimately England. This edition of their thrilling story is newly typeset from the original 1860 text. Eleven annotated supplementary readings, drawn from a variety of contemporary sources, help to place the Crafts’ story within the complex cultural currents of transatlantic abolitionism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George R. Lamplugh, a historian of Georgia and the South, explores some of his home states most fascinating historical events, beginning with the American Revolution and continuing through the 1850s, in this well-researched collection of essays. He covers political factionalism during the American Revolution; the development of political parties in Georgia (which was different from the process in other states); and the impact of the Yazoo Land Fraud on Georgias political development. Some of the most fascinating essays focus on the maneuverings of individual politicians, such as William Few, who was determined to exert local influence after the American Revolution by having the Richmond County courthouse and jail, and hence the county polling place, constructed in the settlement of Brownsborough rather than in Augusta. More complex issues get equal treatment, such as how after the War of 1812, political parties in Georgia began to slowly adopt policies that were popular in other stateseven though that meant hurting Creeks, Cherokees, and slaves. While Georgia didnt always live up to democratic ideals, its political history teaches us a lot about our past and possible future.
