Описание: THE ESSAYS in this book have as their thematic basis the ways in which the people of the Georgia coastal low country have adapted to their environmental circumstances in virtually every aspect of their lives--the methods by which they planted their crops, how they built their homes and commercial buildings, how they got about from one place to another, and a myriad of other life-determining factors, almost all reliant upon the ecological conditions of where they were. This theme is woven within the context of another understanding that has applied to generations of coastal Georgians, white and black--that being an awareness of a sense of place and of permanence amid their landscapes and ecosystems. The stories here incorporate ecology as history from the perspectives of historical archaeology, tideflow rice cultivation, settlement and land use patterns, transportation, and the commercial fishing economy. Other essays relate the movement to conserve the coast, which actually had its genesis in the aftermath of the Civil War, and a review of coastal ecosystems from a scientific perspective--salt marsh, tidal waterways and uplands.

Описание: This monograph comprising a survey of the history of Harris Neck, interwoven with that of the northeastern and central sections of McIntosh County, Georgia, is largely extrapolated from my research from 2016 to 2019 contained in two books--a revised and expanded edition of the county history, Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater, and a new volume, Environmental Influences on Life & Labor in McIntosh County, Georgia. The thematic intent of this study rests upon land use patterns and land ownership during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the section under discussion. While Harris Neck is the area most extensively covered, there is ample material relating to tracts, settlements and land use along the South Newport and Sapelo rivers, and the central sections of McIntosh County, including the settlements of Eulonia, Fairhope and Pine Harbor.

Описание: The "ecology as history" in this book resonates with a recurrent theme, one that tells the story of a community which involves the use of its land, its economy and the dynamics of its labor from the perspective of the local environment. The twelve "case studies" in the book examine the correlation between the ecosystem and environment of the Georgia low country in association with its economics and culture. In this regard, one area is scrutinized as a microcosm of the south Atlantic coast, McIntosh County, Georgia. This is a story of land use in association with the intangibles of place and permanence?and by extension, perseverance?as they relate to the peoples of McIntosh County, black and white. It is a story that is applicable to all of coastal Georgia and lower South Carolina. It is argued here that the human occupants of the region simultaneously adapted to the ecological circumstances of their locale while utilizing local environmental conditions as an increasingly effective, and resourceful, means of furthering their economic and cultural well-being.

Описание: Blackbeard is a small barrier island off the coast of Georgia. Named for Edward Teach, the infamous pirate who attacked merchant shipping along the southeastern coast of America in the early 18th century, the island has had a unique and fascinating history. For over two hundred years Blackbeard has been a federally-managed property, isolated, remote and usually uninhabited, and serving in such diverse capacities as a U.S. Navy timber reserve, a national yellow fever quarantine inspection station, and now as a national wildlife refuge. Coastal Georgia historian Buddy Sullivan has investigated the history of Blackbeard for three decades, and now offers this narrative overview based on archival resources, federal manuscript records and personal accounts.

Описание: This monograph comprising a brief biography of antebellum planter Thomas Spalding and his times, the first such work specifically relating to Spalding since 1940, is gleaned from the author's previous writings about Sapelo Island and coastal Georgia. Chief among these works are Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater A New Revised Edition (2018), Environmental Influences on Life & Labor in McIntosh County, Georgia (2018) and Sapelo: People and Place on a Georgia Sea Island (2017). Thomas Spalding was one of the leading agrarians in the antebellum South and his Sapelo Island cotton and sugar cane plantation was among the region's most productive and efficiently managed. This book provides a review of Spalding's life, an assessment of his plantation and slave management philosophy, and a glimpse of the times in which he lived as the owner and master of a large agricultural operation with hundreds of bondsmen in the early-to-mid nineteenth century. Within are sections on barrier island ecology, planting techniques for sea island cotton and sugar cane, and the principles of tabby architecture as promoted by Spalding. The last section of the book carries the story into the early 20th century with the final years of the Spalding family's presence on Sapelo Island, and the growth of postbellum African American communities developed by the formerly enslaved people of Sapelo.

Описание: Bessie M. Lewis was the historian of McIntosh County, Georgia, for over fifty years. As a published author, newspaper editor and educator, she was the first to introduce academic rigor into local research starting in the 1920s. Lewis's primary focus was the early settlement of Darien and the county during the colonial period. Her important research on colonial Fort King George at Darien brought that long-lost outpost into the public awareness for the first time, and ultimately led to it becoming one of the leading state historic interpretive sites in Georgia. For nearly two decades prior to her death in 1983 at the age of 94, Miss Lewis contributed a weekly column to the Darien News, "Low Country Diary," containing anecdotes and stories of local history and culture while also conveying her abiding love of animals, both wild and domestic. In this collection, Miss Lewis's prot g , coastal Georgia historian Buddy Sullivan, has assembled and edited the best of her "Low Country Diary" columns as an interpretation of McIntosh County history through the thoughts and diligent research of Miss Lewis. Sullivan was inspired by the work of Bessie Lewis going back to his early childhood growing up in McIntosh County. In the early 1990s, he succeeded his late mentor as the official local historian with his own published work, the comprehensive "Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater," a volume recently revised and expanded by the author in a new 1,000-page 2016 edition. In the present collection, Sullivan has come full circle in his career as a historian in sharing the popular and entertaining writings of Bessie Lewis with a new generation of readers. Interspersed throughout with the editor's own notes and commentary on the writings of Miss Lewis, "A Low Country Diary" will likely become a valuable addition to the literature of the Georgia coast, and will serve as a useful supplement to "Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater" for those delving into the history of Darien, McIntosh County and the Georgia coastal country.

Описание: FROM THE AUTHOR--
Maps define geographical context in any historical work. They are a necessary adjunct to a proper understanding--and analysis--of the people, places and events associated with the intent of the historian. In forty years of researching and writing about the history of coastal Georgia, the study of maps, and their related cousins such as land plats and surveys, have played an integral part in formulating my research conclusions. My interest in local and regional geography and topography through the study of state and county maps, and coastal navigation charts, evolved from an early age, attendant to my fascination with local maritime history and my adolescent explorations of local waterways and islands. This book represents the consolidation in a single volume of the maps, charts, surveys and land plats contained in my previous works of local and regional history. With most of the maps herein, I have included personal notes of my own experiences with a given location as well as necessary historical context. This is essentially a work of reference, but it is also intended to be a book for browsing and making one's own personal connections with any given place in McIntosh County. Those seeking a more comprehensive review of the information accompanying my notes and observations here are encouraged to consult my history of the county, Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater.

Описание: This book is another in a continuing series of studies incorporating the theme of environmental influences on life and labor in McIntosh County, Georgia. Previous volumes have covered rice cultivation in the Altamaha delta, and barrier island agriculture as embodied in the ecological awareness of Thomas Spalding of Sapelo. The present study looks at Sapelo Island from a twentieth century perspective, covering a time span of 1912 to 2015. Herein are four separate stories within the overall story: that of Howard E. Coffin, Detroit industrialist who owned most of Sapelo from 1912 to 1934; Richard J. Reynolds, Jr., at Sapelo from 1934 to 1964; scientific research at Sapelo Island from 1953 onward, resulting in a new understanding of the salt marsh ecosystem; and the human dimension as seen through the twentieth century generational and cultural legacy of the people of Sapelo, many of whose ancestors were enslaved laborers on the antebellum island plantations. Theirs is a story of permanence and perseverance on Sapelo and it will be told here, often from a personal perspective.

Описание: A lifelong awareness of one's place, and an accompanying sense of permanence within that place when set amid the context of the ecology, history and culture of the locale, is the theme of this memoir of the coastal Georgia low country by author and historian Buddy Sullivan. The author's reflections on his coastal roots are told here in his upbringing amid the salt marshes and tidal waterways of McIntosh County, Georgia, and most specifically within the little tidewater communities of Cedar Point and Valona. A fourth generation McIntosh Countian, Sullivan spent much of his childhood and adolescence in and around Cedar Point on family lands overlooking the marshes and creeks where he experienced life in the 1950s and 1960s. He relates an early association with shrimp boats and the local watermen, his own personal explorations of the local tidewater, and an early and developing interest in local history and ecology through family and extended relationships within the McIntosh County community. Contained herein is an overview of the author's family history, both maternally and paternally, and its direct connections with McIntosh County and the Georgia and South Carolina low country going back to the mid-1800s. Comprising a major portion of this book are selected essays by the author as gleaned from his writings and research relating to the coast over the past forty years. The underlying theme in both the memoir and the historical essays is that of the author's awareness and understanding from an early age of the ecosystems of the low country--tidal salt marshes, barrier islands, river hydrology and upland soils--and their unique connectivity to the region's history and culture. Accompanying the text are maps and archival photographs, interspersed with color images of the tidewater as it appears today.

Описание: This study comprising a survey of the history of Darien, the principal town and county seat of McIntosh County, Georgia, is largely extrapolated from my most recent research from 2016 to 2019 contained in a revised and expanded edition of my county history, Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater. Darien is the second oldest settled municipality in Georgia with a history and culture as diverse as any in the state. Its origins lay in its founding by Highland Scots, and that Scottish legacy has transcended almost three centuries. Darien's history is unique in that it experienced a series of devastating economic downturns in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, yet made remarkable recoveries each time to become an even more prosperous community. In addition, Darien suffered the travails of war--it was burned to the ground by federal forces in 1863, yet rebuilt and prospered economically for the next forty years as one of the leading exporters of raw timber and processed lumber in the United States, exemplifying a new industrial economy that succeeded its former antebellum agricultural economy, and reflecting the changing dynamics of a new South in the postbellum era. In essence, Darien was the big little town in its timber prosperity. The focus of this study is economic, rather than social, cultural, or political, and the preponderance of its attention is to the century and a half from 1800 to about 1960. Additionally, I have taken the liberty of incorporating within the text certain aspects of the history of other areas of McIntosh County as they affected Darien.
