Georgia Books

Searcy's book is a welcome and much needed addition to the early Revolutionary War period along the southern front. Her exhaustive research covers the turmoil along the Georgia-Florida border during 1776-1778 and its repercussions on the eventual outcome of the American Revolution. Her sweeping historical narrative ranges from the decisions made in the Continental Congress to the devastating effects on the settlers from the constant raids, skirmishes, and battles between the Georgia patriots and the Florida loyalists. The book can be read for historic detail or as an informative and interesting narrative or both. It certainly rates a place on any bookshelf to complememnt the considerable literature on the Revolutionary War in the northern colonies during this period.

I've recently moved to Georgia and decided that I wanted to know more about my new state. This book is very interesting and well written. I found it to be a gold mine of information.

I bought this book to help us with our "day trips" in Georgia and it is just what I needed. It gives you the pertinent info such as directions, fees, times and highlights. Highly recommended to keep in your car for those things you might want to do in a town you are passing through.

Those who are looking for the real Georgia, not the politically correct, Yankeefied, love-me love-me obsequiousness of the current day chamber of commerce will be well pleased with this volume. It's well worth the search and will provide many enjoyable, informative day trips despite being somewhat dated. However, thanks to Mr. Spalding, one can easily check the back of the book for updated road access. Go ahead and have Amazon search for it- you'll be glad you did. -Marianna

The Ghost on the Ramparts presents fourteen of R. B. Heilman's essays on the teaching of English and the profession of the humanities. Written mainly since 1960, these essays deal with such diverse topics as administrative ways and means, pedagogical shibboleths and heresies, uses and abuses of literacy, cliches of style, moot issues of history and criticism, and above all the nature of the humanities and their continuing significance. The persuasive discussions of all these subjects reflect the author's wide profesional experience, his wit and wisdom, his superb sense of style.

I thought the, Ghost Stories of Georgia, True Tales of Ghostly Hauntings was the best that I had readed. It had a lot history to the stories told in the book.

Since I was a child, I have always loved this book. I have lived in Alabama all of my life and grown up with folklore all around me. This book is incredible from cover to cover. It also has a few good laughs. I reccomend it for anyone who is interested in folklore and superstitions or loves a good ghost story!!

This is a really good book if you want a deep look into Georgia Football history. Stegeman did his homework. I highly recommend this book and "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" for any serious Georgia or SEC enthusiasts.

If you buy only one book on visible surface ray-tracing of stereoscopic images, this is that book.

Daugharty's collection of short stories is fantastic. Her writing style is truely unique. Each story moves the reader and allows them the experience of life in the south.
