Georgia
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 d...
Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater, a New Revised Edition
A comprehensive review of the history of McIntosh County on the Georgia coast from 1526 to the present, with special emphasis on the sea islands of Sapelo and St. Simons and the tidewater communities of Darien, Brunswick, Harris Neck, and lower Liberty County. The story includes rice plantations of the antebellum period, barrier island cotton and sugar cane cultivation, the post-Civil War timber and lumber industry, the 20th century commercial shrimping and oyster industry, and the preservation of the sea islands by the influence of northern capital which laid the groundwork for future conservation efforts.
Low Country Historian
THE THEMATIC intent of this book is to relate aspects of the history of the Georgia low country from an ecological perspective, specifically how environmental circumstances have shaped the lives of the inhabitants, and how they made their living. Herein are stories of "life and labor" as viewed through the prism of ecology, with discussions on the dynamics of salt marsh ecology, and the science employed in understanding it; how archaeology has told us about the way people lived in the past; the use of the land by generations of its owners; and waterways in the development of a maritime culture. The focus is largely economic because most of history is shaped by economic forces. In this respec...
Sapelo
Sapelo, a state-protected barrier island off the Georgia coast, is one of the state’s greatest treasures. Presently owned almost exclusively by the state and managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Sapelo features unique nature characteristics that have made it a locus for scientific research and ecological conservation. Beginning in 1949, when then Sapelo owner R. J. Reynolds Jr. founded the Sapelo Island Research Foundation and funded the research of biologist Eugene Odum, UGA’s study of the island’s fragile wetlands helped foster the modern ecology movement. With this book, Buddy Sullivan covers the full range of the island’s history, including Native American in...
