Book excerpt: She would spend a lifetime fighting for her Indian heritage in a white man's world....Daughter of an English fur trader and his wilderness wife, young Coosaponakeesa, princess of the Upper and Lower Creeks, left her Indian village for Charlestown to be reared in the ways of the English. Baptized Mary, the deerskin-clad girl blossomed into a regal beauty, possessing the proud, courageous spirit of her Indian heritage. As wife, mother, and queen, her influence helped forge the greatest trading empire in the Charlestown and Savannah colonies. But times were treacherous, and as the English colonies expanded into the New World, so did the tensions and hostilities between Anglo and Indian. From the stark Indian village on the Chattahoochee River to the bustling streets of Charlestown and Savannah, through sixty years and three husbands, Mary follows her destiny as an indomitable force of peace between two peoples. And as a new nation struggles, Mary proves herself a woman of her land and her heritage...the true queen of her people.

Download or read book The Sorrels of Savannah written by Carla Ramsey Weeks and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sorrels of Savannah is a story of tragedy and triumph. The family lived during tumultuous times in America's history. Francis, the patriarch, built for himself and his family a lavish, privileged lifestyle in Savannah made possible, in part, by the institution of slavery. Their family was among the last generation of antebellum slaveholding southerners whose way of life was challenged and forever changed by the Civil War and Reconstruction that followed. The Sorrels of Savannah is an interesting and readable account of a remarkable family--their individual personalities and traits, both honorable and dishonorable. The Sorrels of Savannah-Francis, his two wives, and their children-are significant to history not just for their individual compelling stories, but that they offer a view of a family and their relationships with each other and the outside world during one of the most cataclysmic eras in American history. They offer a close-up, personal look at what life was really like for a relatively small but much publicized group of people: the slaveholding, white antebellum elite of Savannah, Georgia. Through their stories, the reader is privy to life in the South before, during, and after the Civil War. This small history provides unguarded glimpses of their personal lives and views as they interact with each other during good times and bad. The reader is allowed to step back in time to hear their voices, know their thoughts, feel their fears, and witness their successes and failures. The Sorrels of Savannah is not just a history--it is an excursion into America's past.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beneath These Waters: Archeological and Historical Studies of 11, 500 Years Along the Savannah River Writing about what human life was like over years could be an insurmountable task. Yet, as we delved deeper into the stacks of reports about the upper Savannah River region, the curtain over the past began to part, and the people who once lived near the river slowly came to life.

Download or read book American Modernism and Depression Documentary written by Jeff Allred and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-08 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photos filled with the forlorn faces of hungry and impoverished Americans that came to characterize the desolation of the Great Depression are among the best known artworks of the twentieth century. Captured by the camera's eye, these stark depictions of suffering became iconic markers of a formative period in U.S. history. Although there has been an ample amount of critical inquiry on Depression-era photographs, the bulk of scholarship treats them as isolated art objects. And yet they were often joined together with evocative writing in a genre that flourished amid the period, the documentary book. American Modernism and Depression Documentary looks at the tradition of the hybrid, verbal-visual texts that flourished during a time when U.S. citizens were becoming increasingly conscious of the life of a larger nation. Jeff Allred draws on a range of seminal works to illustrate the convergence of modernism and documentary, two forms often regarded as unrelated. Whereas critics routinely look to James Agee and Walker Evans' Let Us Now Praise Famous Men as the sole instance of the modernist documentary book, Allred turns to such works as Richard Wright's scathing 12 Million Black Voices, and the oft-neglected You Have Seen Their Faces by Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White to open up the critical playing field. And rather than focusing on the ethos of Progressivism and/or the politics and aesthetics of the New Deal, Allred emphasizes the centrality of Life magazine to the consolidation of a novel cultural form.
