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: This monograph comprises a review of rice cultivation and land ownership in the Altamaha River delta in coastal Georgia, utilizing as its case study the Butler's Island plantation where, during the antebellum period, over six hundred slaves labored to plant and harvest crops of rice that in some years exceeded one million pounds in production per annum. Much of the book is gleaned from the author's previous writings about 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). The present volume incorporates a review of rice planting methods and techniques, plantation administration, and labor force management from the perspective of its owners, the Butler family of Philadelphia, its resident managers, Roswell King, and his son, Roswell King, Jr., and from that of the enslaved people of Butler's Island themselves as revealed through the writings of, among others, Frances Anne Kemble and her plantation journal compiled during a visit to the Altamaha in the winter of 1839. The story of Butler's Island is carried beyond the Civil War and Emancipation with insights from events in the postbellum period and early twentieth century. The latter portion of the book reviews the other rice plantations in the Altamaha district, with particular emphasis on Hopeton, described in the contemporary literature as "the model plantation of the South," in light of its efficient management by James Hamilton Couper.

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.
