Book excerpt: ... A heartfelt letter written and delivered, wanting to convey what you mean to me. carefully measuring each word and line, afraid, as always, of having said too much ... In From California to Georgia A Journey through Life, Love, and Change, Jacquelyn Gallo shares more than thirty poems that chronicle her life experiences after she decides to move from her lifelong home in San Jose, California, to Decatur, Georgia. Presented first as Experiences, then Observations, and finally Lessons, Gallo's poems lyrically illustrate her reflections and newly found wisdom as she transitions from one phase of her life to the next. Focusing on the lessons learned from her new relationships as well as the reshaped relationships with the people she has left behind, these poems resonate with deep heart and compassion-convincing others that no matter what your age, life lessons always help us lead richer and fuller lives. With her pen as her frequent companion as she ventures through a new chapter in her life, Gallo offers a relatable, raw emotional sensibility as she experiences fond memories, diffi cult goodbyes, and new beginnings and shares a valuable message-that loss and pain can be transformed into the keys to joy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was a sailor's dream: more than 100 bars, casinos and whorehouses, just a short boat ride across the Napa River that separated the sprawling Mare Island Naval Shipyard from Vallejo, California. Why bother to head for San Francisco, about 25 miles to the south, when you could raise hell in Vallejo's Lower Georgia Street district? This was the city's original business zone, but over time the grocery stores, clothing shops and offices for doctors and lawyers were replaced by brightly lit joints that appealed to the sailors. Every time the United States got involved in wars, there were dramatic expansions in shipyard construction and repair. That meant big business for Lower Georgia Street as sailors on liberty poured into town. Top Navy brass made repeated demands on the city to clean up the problems. The district would improve, but only temporarily. In Vallejo, nothing before or since was as wild as the Lower Georgia district during World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1971, Georgia's Last Frontier presents the history of one of the state's least developed regions. During the 1830s, Carroll County was a large part of Georgia's most rugged frontier. James C. Bonner examines how life in this isolated region was complicated by the presence of Native Americans, cattle rustlers, and horse thieves. He details how the discovery of gold in the Villa Rica area resulted in drunkenness and violence, but also laid the foundations of mining technology that were later used in Colorado and California. The region remained isolated until after the Civil War, when a rail line was constructed to stimulate cotton cultivation. With the development of the railway, Carroll County's frontier traditions waned in the early twentieth century.
