Produktbeschreibung
Bryan County is a community in the Georgia coastal low country with a rich history spanning two and a half centuries. Located just south of Savannah, the county has evolved through a succession of eras encompassing colonial settlement, antebellum rice culture, the ravages of civil war, economic growth through railroads and turpentine production centered on the county seat at Pembroke, and a twenty-five-year association with automotive magnate Henry Ford who developed multiple cultural and agricultural activities around the town that became present-day Richmond Hill. Author Buddy Sullivan has documented the historical, cultural, and much of the genealogical history of the pioneer families of Bryan County in this updated volume originally issued in 2000. It should be of value to anyone researching the history of the Georgia coastal region. As illustrated by the front cover, this book will be of special interest to those interested in the antebellum plantation culture embracing the rice planting technology of the low country, as well as the stories of the families associated with the "rice aristocracy" of the southeast Atlantic coast. This is the most comprehensive history of Bryan County, Georgia and its environs ever published.
