It is a pleasure to recommend this book. The Peculiar Democracy is an interesting survey of Southern Democrats. It makes important distinctions between populist-minded Jacksonians and elite-minded Bourbons. It points out that Jeffersonian ideals associated with yeoman farmers and self-reliance were not fulfilled by the arrogant slothfulness of the plantation aristocracy.

I love this book. It is a great recollection of some of our ancestors and things about them that we didn't know. I am from Pembroke and this book made me proud to call it my home.

This book is an essential piece for anyone wanting to work in South Carolina. Sassaman has done a phenomenal job creating an account of the MALA people that even non-archaeologists can understand.

I enjoyed this book not because I am a former bulldog but because of the inspiration and ideas it gave me as the coach of high level athletes. My college bound high school gymnasts seemed to be missing something that I just couldn't put my finger on. Suzanne's experience and suggestions of how to train both the body and mind of gymnasts as they enter into adulthood was just the inspiration and insight I was looking for.
Go Dawgs!

I live near the Flint River and am so interested in the history I bought this book. It is a super book and worth every penny. I wish the photo reproduction was better but its still a wonderful study.

Pharsalia is a plantation located in piedmont Virginia - one of the best-documented sites of its kind thanks to papers and records left by the Massie family owners. These enable PHARSALIA to be presented here as a case study of how white southern plantation owners employed capitalistic methods to cement their ideas of independence. Any college-level holding strong in Southern history or regional environmental history will find PHARSALIA key to understanding the southern conservation movement as it follows its owners' agricultural pursuits and environmental assessments.

Every once in a while an author comes along who establishes themself in their genre as the definitive master.

Chistopher Aristide Desbouillons Murphy (called Charles AD Murphy for most of his 71 years) was born in 1902 in Savannah, where he actively played and explored and walked throughout the city he would later depict and define through his art. His parents were interested in art and Chris Murphy, Jr. studied art in Savannah and New York.
At the time of this review, "Picturing Savannah" is a handsome accompaniment to the more than120 of Murphy's works from private and public collections now on exhibit at the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah.
Murphy knew the city intimately, not ony its landmark buildings and outstanding architecture, but also the city at work, its more humble homes and its busy waterfront. He has portrayed all of this in his paintings and sketches and the book also includes a section of his portraits and still lifes.
It is Murphy's genuine love and respect for Savannah's many sides that allows him to capture the essence of this extraordinary southern city.
"Portraits of Savannah" is perfect for those now living in Savannah who love the city and its history and for those who have visited Savannah and wish to remember and re-capture the feel and allure of the city.
This book is a rare talisman of Savannah.
