Book excerpt: Recognized by the Georgia Press Association as among the state's best features/lifestyle columns, Larry Hobbs' weekly take on the fascinating history of Coastal Georgia's Golden Isles has become a reader favorite in The Brunswick News. In this compendium of the first year's worth of History columns, readers can acquire further insight into the region's storied past. Learn about the real-life folks who inspired a best-selling historical romance trilogy, discover the source behind the U.S.S. Constitution's nickname as "Old Ironsides," and get to know the men and women who fought World War II from the homefront at a shipyard on the Brunswick River. These and many more stories are covered in a casual, fact-filled style. It is all inside this followup to Hobbs' little book with the big title: A Historical Crash Course on Coastal Georgia and the Golden Isles. Also, there just might be a ghost story or two inside Coast Tales.

Download or read book Shamans and Kushtakas written by Mary Giraudo Beck and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2003-06-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shaman and Kushtaka, both struck terror in the hearts of the Tlingit and Haida, for both possessed frightening supernatural powers. Among the Natives of the Pacific Northwest Coast, the shaman was honored as a person who could heal the body and spirit as well as see into the future. In his struggles to protect his people, he fought the kushtaka an evil spirit being who was half human and half land hotter for the souls of dying persons. Theirs was a battle between the forces of good and evil, and today it remains a cornerstone in Tlingit and Haida mythology. Mary Giraudo Beck provides a powerful mix of history, legend, and adventure to dramatize the values and traditions of Tlingit and Haida societies. The heroic and wondrous incidents in these stories transcend time and culture and, as tales of myth and magic, provide compelling reading for young and old alike.

Download or read book Gullah Folktales from the Georgia Coast written by Charles Colcock Jones and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1888, Charles Colcock Jones Jr. published the first collection of folk narratives from the Gullah-speaking people of the South Atlantic coast, tales he heard black servants exchange on his family's rice and cotton plantation. It has been out of print and largely unavailable until now. Jones saw the stories as a coastal variation of Joel Chandler Harris's inland dialect tales and sought to preserve their unique language and character. Through Jones' rendering of the sound and syntax of nineteenth-century Gullah, the lively stories describe the adventures and mishaps of such characters as "Buh Rabbit," "Buh Ban-Yad Rooster," and other animals. The tales range from the humorous to the instructional and include stories of the "sperits," Daddy Jupiter's "vision," a dying bullfrog's last wish, and others about how "buh rabbit gained sense" and "why the turkey buzzard won't eat crabs."

Now he has selected some of his favorites in Texas Gulf Coast Stories. Join Williams as he explores the days of early settlement and European contact, Karankawa and Tonkawa legends and the Coastal Bend's tallest of tall tales.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this rich and innovatively presented ethnography is to explore mobility, sense of place and time on the British Columbia coast. On the basis of almost 400 interviews with ferry passengers and over 250 ferry journeys, the author narrates and reflects on the performance of travel and on the consequences of ferry-dependence on island and coastal communities. Ferry Tales inaugurates a new series entitled Innovative Ethnographies for Routledge (innovativeethnographies.net). The purpose of this hypermedia book series is to use digital technologies to capture a richer, multimodal view of social life than was otherwise done in the classic, print-based tradition of ethnography, while maintaining the traditional strengths of classic, ethnographic analysis.
