"History books sometimes revise history, particularly when the author chooses to interpret the facts of history as a polemic of her or his own perception. Happily, Tommy Jenkins has chosen not to present history through his own eyes, but through photographs, maps & drawings of those who came before him..."--from the introduction by Island resident & author Bill Diehl. St. Simons, unknown to many, has played a major role in this nation's history. This publication combines new photographs including historical reenactments taken at the 250th anniversary of the battle of Bloody Marsh at Frederica, the first settlement & fortification on St. Simons, with old photographs from as far back as post-Civil War. Factual maps, text & photographs combine in the pages of this book to create a visual experience for the reader. In some cases an old photo is complemented by a recent photo of the same area. These "then & now" combinations give the reader first-hand experience of the changes in the Island's history.

The Golden Isles are home to a long and proud African American and Gullah Geechee heritage. Ibo Landing was the site of a mass suicide in protest of slavery, the slave ship Wanderer landed on Jekyll Island and, thanks to preservation efforts, the Historic Harrington School still stands on St. Simons Island. From the Selden Normal and Industrial Institute to the tabby cabins of Hamilton Plantation, authors Amy Roberts and Patrick Holladay explore the rich history of the region's islands and their people, including such local notables as Deaconess Alexander, Jim Brown, Neptune Small, Hazel Floyd and the Georgia Sea Island Singers.

The author's deep desire is for others to find their own treasures, by the sea, or wherever those treasures may be found.

South of Savannah, along the picturesque and historic coastline of Georgia, lies a group of barrier islands known as the Golden Isles. This collection of coastal sea islands has attracted people Native Americans, European settlers and vacationing sun-seekers throughout history, for the islands bountiful resources and appealing climate. Perhaps the brightest jewel of these islands is St. Simons Island. The History Press is proud to re-issue St. Simons Island: A Summary of its History, by local resident and historian R. Edwin Green. Mr. Green has compiled an informative volume, which highlights the unique and developing history of one of Georgia s most popular sea islands. Spanning over three hundred years of island history, Mr. Green brings to life the day-to-day toils of the Native Americans and their interaction with Spanish missionaries, the hardships faced by James Oglethorpe during the early colonial period, the rise and fall of the antebellum plantation society and the twentieth century with the start of St. Simons as a vacation and resort destination. With a keen eye for the details, which imparts the reader with a true understanding of the island s people and history, Mr. Green offers both the visitor and resident the historical foundation to enjoy all that St. Simons has to offer."
