Bøger om US South

Coastal South Carolina was among the first places in the New World to be settled. Among the plantations in the Charleston District, part of which was to become Berkeley County, were four overlapping the area that was later to be established as the city of Hanahan. Following the Civil War, as the plantations were broken up into many small farms and the city of Charleston expanded, a search began for a nearby, new source of fresh water to replace water from contaminated wells. That search led to Goose Creek, where, in 1903, a dam was built and a pumping station established, named Hanahan for the chairman of the Charleston Water Commission. Military installations and housing, thriving businesses, and schools began to meet the needs of the developing community. Hanahan would grow over the years and incorporate into a city in 1973, known for its beautiful landscape and community culture. Today, Hanahan is the heart of the Lowcountry in location and, most importantly, in spirit. Despite its growth, it maintains the original small-town feel, drawing and keeping people into this community that they love.

"In a small town in Appalachia, people paint their doorways blue to keep spirits away. Black ferns grow where death will follow. And Weatherly Opal Wilder is a Death Talker. When called upon, she can talk the death out of the dying and save their lives -- only once, never twice. But this truly unique gift comes at a price, rooting Weatherly to people who only want her around when they need her and resent her unfamiliar ways when they don't. Weatherly's cousin Adaire also has a gift: she's a Scryer and can see the future reflected back in dark surfaces. Right before she is killed in an accident, Adaire saw something unnerving, and that's why Weatherly believes she was murdered -- never thinking for a moment that it was an accident. But when Weatherly, for the first time, is unable to talk the death out of the mayor's son, the whole town suspects she is out for revenge, that she wouldn't save him. With the help of clues Adaire left behind and her family's Granny Witch recipe box, Weatherly sets out to find the truth behind her cousin's death, whatever it takes."--

The details of Clyde A. Barbour's early life on the Mississippi River call to mind the adventures of that famous riverboat pilot Mark Twain, and like Twain, Clyde would never be content with a life limited by riverbanks - his dreams and ambitions went far beyond the river's reach. A determined young man with boundless ambition, Clyde became a steamboat captain, a self-taught man with an appreciation of art and culture, and a driven businessman and pioneer of American industry and development. With his beloved Jennie beside him, he set out to build a life for his growing family that would change the lives of almost everyone with whom he came in contact, and of many who never met him.In Barbours Cut, novelist Nancy Potter has painstakingly combined family lore and documented fact to recreate the compelling story of her great- grandparents. In 1900, as today, there were many in America who were determined to make as much money as possible-and by whatever means necessary. Captain Barbour was different, a hard-working laborer and then entrepreneur whose open honesty and sincerity drew people to him and inspired trust. Whenever he saw someone in need or an opportunity waiting to be seized, he acted without hesitation, confidently, shrewdly, and prudently. Clyde suffered many hardships, disappointments, setbacks, and struggles, but he never stopped believing in himself or his vision, and his Jennie never stopped believing in him.

August Applegate is sixteen years old, and he's known he's gay for eleven of them. But in 1963, life in a small Appalachian hamlet doesn't offer many opportunities to learn what that truly means.That is, not until August spends one magical-if tumultuous-summer at Buck's County Theatre Camp. There, he steps behind the curtains that shield the gay world from view and enters a bewildering universe of heated flings, dramatic breakups, and unspoken rules that leave his head spinning. Or perhaps that's just his bunkmates: Pete, beautiful, charismatic, and secretive; and Farley Fairfield, chaos incarnate, who seems to hate August no matter what he does.Thus begins a journey of many years, as August leaves camp and returns home to his loving, dysfunctional family; completes high school; attends college; survives life (once again) as Farley's roommate; and finally sets out to build a life on his own terms. Navigating the uproar of the 1970s and into the next decade, August witnesses the defiant joy of the gay rights movement and the creeping dread of the AIDS crisis. Yet even amid the waning of old friendships, the withering of old loves, and the unspoken traumas that hold his family in their codependent orbits, the one thing August can't get rid of is his tender, trusting "Pollyanna" heart.But August's stubborn optimism is more than just a chic set of rose-colored glasses. In fact, it might be the only pillar to which his loved ones can cling amid the relentless tides of fate. . . .

"Grayson Hayes doesn't remember things as well as he used to, but he's sure his time is running out. Diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, he realizes he has a small window of time left to right a terrible injustice -- he just can't remember what it is. Convinced of the importance of his mission, he embarks on a journey to the small West Virginia town of his childhood hoping he can put together the fractured pieces of his memory and set things right. But as the past becomes more clear, he wonders if God forgives the sins he can't remember. A thought-provoking story with challenging themes, this book deals with issues like: what it's like to care for a loved one with memory loss, how to live when you feel like you're losing yourself, what it is that gives value to a human life, and the eternal power of forgiveness and second chances. Saving Grayson is a wrenching yet hopeful story of a journey to right unknown wrongs and of holding on to what you know even when it feels like everything is slipping away."--

"Even before the guns fell silent at Gettysburg, Robert E. Lee was preparing for the arduous task of getting his defeated army back safely into Virginia. It was an enormous, complex, and exceedingly dangerous undertaking, told here in exciting fashion"--

"The Atlanta Campaign in 1864 was second only to Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign in Virginia for scope and drama. This multi-volume study of the campaign for Atlanta breaks new ground and promises to be this generation's definitive study of one of the most important and fascinating confrontations of the entire Civil War"--

By the time Albert Castel's Decision in the West: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864 appeared in 1992, Savas Woodbury Publishers had already made important contributions to the campaign scholarship by publishing a collection of original essays by some of the field's most noted authors, including Steven Woodworth, writing about the Confederacy's command options in the Winter of 1863-64. Editors Theodore P. Savas and David A. Woodbury next assembled another group of articles that included such luminaries as Richard McMurry and William R. Scaife. The pair of paperbacks were published together in 1994 in a special hardcover edition with fold-out maps entitled The Campaign for Atlanta & Sherman's March to the Sea, Volumes I and II.Now, almost three decades later, Savas Beatie proudly announces the publication of its third volume in the series. Once again, cutting-edge scholarship is presented in such essays as Brian Wills' "Forrest and Atlanta" and Larry Daniel's "The Adairsville Affair." Stephen Davis wonders why the battle of Jonesboro (August 31-September 1) still draws so much attention when Federal troops had already cut Hood's last railroad line into Atlanta, sealing the fate of the city even before the battle had begun.Additional essays address the impact of Sherman's campaigns on Georgia women, Joe Johnston's self-aggrandizing campaign accounts, and more.Like its predecessors, The Campaign for Atlanta and Sherman's March to the Sea, Volume 3 will be highly sought by students of the campaign, and western theatrists in general.

"The fall and early winter of 1861 was a hotbed of activity that culminated in the December combat at Dranesville. A host of characters and commands that would become household names cut their teeth during these months. Though soon eclipsed by larger and bloodier battles, Dranesville remained a defining moment for many of its participants--soldiers and civilians alike--for the rest of their lives"--

Fairhope, Alabama, was founded on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay in 1894 as a social experiment. The pioneers applied the single-tax principle and economic philosophy found in Henry George's 1879 book Progress and Poverty. The city of Fairhope was established in 1908 inside and around the colony, known today as the Fairhope Single Tax Corporation. This book celebrates the timeless Fairhope bay views and historic buildings and homes.
