Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Sunday mornings, church bells ring, calling all denominations, and Savannah's squares are filled with people and activities. The city embraces music, art, and literature, and the historic district welcomes visitors from all over the world. As a port city, Savannah has always embraced diversity, and that is what residents love about it. We are not losing our Southern values and traditions; we are just sharing them. Legendary Locals of Savannah introduces readers to people who braved the Atlantic Ocean to establish the Georgia colony, entrepreneurs who made a fortune in cotton, and black citizens who struggled through slavery and later fought for civil rights. Liberty boys who plotted the Revolution, families who lived in mansions, boys who fought bravely for the Confederate cause, and those who insisted on preserving our beautiful historic district--they all have a story to tell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Europeans came, Amerindians celebrated on Hilton Head Island with seasonal oyster feasts. Later, planters made fortunes here with Sea Island cotton. But the island came alive to the guns of the Union in 1861 and, for seven years, was host to the troops who helped former slaves even before the Emancipation Proclamation made freedom official. The forces left, and the island slept. In the pages of this book are some of the people who kept the Gullah sea island culture alive, a self-sustaining culture of mutual help and integrity, living off the sea and the land. This volume also includes some of the people who set a standard for development and made the island what it is today, unique visionaries who had a fierce devotion to preservation of the island's natural beauty, its flora, and its fauna.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many colorful threads make up the fabric of the more than one hundred neighborhoods in and around beautiful Savannah, Georgia.

A University of Georgia graduate, Polly has been writing about the citys residents for three decades and has selected a handful of her favorite newspaper columns for this book. Also included are never-before-published interviews with local residents who recount memorable childhood experiences in areas such as Ardsley Park, Twickenham, Fellwood Homes, Gordonston, and dozens of other neighborhoods. This unforgettable journey through Savannah takes readers to mom and pop stores of days gone by, to old movie theatres on Broughton Street, to the beaches on Tybee Island and nearly every stop in between. This truly is heartwarming local history at its best.
