From the storyteller behind the Uncle Remus stories comes a young person's history of Georgia. Herein are 27 stories about prominent people and events in the History of the State of Georgia which stretch from the Spanish explorations of De Soto through the founding of the Georgia Colony, the War of Independence and the American Civil War to the post war peace. These stories are accompanied by 45 pen and ink illustrations by an unknown artist. Today, more than one hundred years later, the timeless appeal of these stories makes them an interesting and valuable item of Georgiana. Some of the stories in this volume are: A Search For Treasure. Oglethorpe And His Gentle Colony The Empress Of Georgia Aunt Nancy Hart. A Negro Patriot. The Yazoo Fraud The Cotton Gin. The Creeks And The Creek War Two Famous Indian Chiefs. A Queer Case. Georgia Wit And Humor. Slavery And Secession. Georgia In The War. A Daring Adventure. The Reconstruction Period. In preparing the pages in this volume, Joel Chandler Harris (1848 – 1908) has had in view the desirability of familiarizing the Citizens of Georgia with the salient facts of the State's history in a way that shall make the further study of that history not only interesting, but also a delight. The characterizations herein were for the first time brought together from many sources which, at the time, were little known and, at the time, out of print. However, the history of Georgia from 1896 (when this book was published) until the present now exists in altogether different locations. Considering Chandler-Harris compiled and penned this volume aged about 35, here’s an opportunity for a budding young author to add an addendum and bring this volume up to date…. 10% of the publisher’s profit will be donated to Charities. ------- KEYWORDS/TAGS: Stories from Georgia, Joel Chandler-Harris, action, active, adventure, Adams, American, American Civil War, Andrews, army, attack, Augusta, Mary Aunt Nancy, Austin, Bosomworth, Brer Rabbit, British, Brown, Bunkley, camp, Captain, Carolina, charge, Cherokees, Clarke, Colonel, colonists, Colony, commander, condition, Congress, convention, cotton gin, County, courage, Crawford, Creeks, declare, dollars, Dooly, duty, Elijah, England, expedition, Florida, Fuller, General, Georgia, Government, Governor, history, war of independence, Indians, Jackson, James, Judge, King, Legislature, Liberty, locomotive, Longstreet, Major, march, Matthews, McGillivray, Mcintosh, militia, Mississippi, money, movement, nationhood, negroes, North, officers, Oglethorpe, peace, President, Province, queen, Revolution, River, Robert, Sallette, Savannah, secession, slaves, soldiers, South, Spaniards, spirit, State, Thomas, Toombs, Tories, Railway train, USA, Uncle Remus, United states, villages, Washington, Whitney, William, wounded, Yazoo Fraud

It also explores how the parks focus changed and expanded over the decades and takes a look at some of its classic advertising and souvenirs.
Rigid and predictable. Sarah Buchanan would never in a million years have used those words to describe herself. Never. But it’s been almost a year since her longtime girlfriend left her for a man, and she’s suddenly realized that those words now describe her with frightening accuracy, along with one more: boring. Deciding it’s time to escape her disaster of a life, at least long enough to turn it around, she takes a temporary position with her company overseas. The hardest part is leaving her blue-eyed dog, Bentley, behind. But at least he’s in the capable hands of her family. She thinks. Natalie Fox is the exact opposite of Sarah. She’s flighty, spontaneous, and lives in The Now. It’s how she's always been, and for better or for worse, Natalie loves her carefree life. When she finds a stray, skinny, terrified dog with blue eyes outside the coffee shop where she works and decides to adopt him as her own, things seem just about perfect to her. Take two stubborn, polar opposites with an attraction for one another they’re trying desperately to ignore; throw in a couple of wise Italians, a handful of quirky friends, some homemade cannoli, and a far-too-observant dog; stir vigorously, then sit back, relax, and enjoy…
