Autorenporträt
Buddy Sullivan, a fifth-generation McIntosh Countian, has written about the history, culture and ecology of coastal Georgia for almost forty years. He is the author of sixteen books and monographs and is in frequent demand as a lecturer on a variety of historical topics. He is a recipient of the Governor's Medal in the Humanities from the Georgia Humanities Council in recognition of his literary and cultural contributions to the state. Sullivan's books include Sapelo: People and Place on a Georgia Sea Island; Georgia: A State History, and two comprehensive local histories, Early Days on the Georgia Tidewater, and From Beautiful Zion to Red Bird Creek. The latter volume received the Georgia Historical Society's Lilla M. Hawes Award for Georgia's outstanding work of local history. In addition, he has written several books on nineteenth century agriculture, focusing on rice cultivation and plantation management, and High Water on the Bar, covering the economic and maritime aspects of the post-Civil War coastal lumber industry. His published monograph, The First Conservationists? Northern Money and Lowcountry Georgia, 1866-1930, was read at an important 2016 symposium, "Coastal Nature, Coastal Culture: Environmental Histories of the Georgia Coast." Sullivan is a contributor to the online New Georgia Encyclopedia, and the University of Georgia Press volume, The New Georgia Guide. He managed the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve from 1993 to 2013 and is now an independent consultant.
