In the spring of 1863, Union colonel Abel D. Streight sought to raid and destroy parts of the vital span of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in north Georgia with his mule-riding infantry brigade. Determined to thwart the potentially deadly attack, Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest fervently pursued Streight's forces. With the help of unlikely ally fifteen-year-old Emma Sansom of Gadson, Alabama, Forrest falsely convinced Streight he was vastly outnumbered, foiled the raid and forced Streight's surrender. Brandon H. Beck details Streight's dubious plan and the exciting story of a running battle between hunter and quarry that colors history from the hills of northeast Mississippi to the heart of Georgia.

In 1888, Charles Colcock Jones Jr. published the first collection of folk narratives from the Gullah-speaking people of the South Atlantic coast, tales he heard black servants exchange on his family's rice and cotton plantation. It has been out of print and largely unavailable until now.Jones saw the stories as a coastal variation of Joel Chandler Harris's inland dialect tales and sought to preserve their unique language and character. Through Jones' rendering of the sound and syntax of nineteenth-century Gullah, the lively stories describe the adventures and mishaps of such characters as "Buh Rabbit," "Buh Ban-Yad Rooster," and other animals. The tales range from the humorous to the instructional and include stories of the "sperits," Daddy Jupiter's "vision," a dying bullfrog's last wish, and others about how "buh rabbit gained sense" and "why the turkey buzzard won't eat crabs."

“Jones handles the narrative details of the campaign in good fashion. He sets the context of events, with full appreciation of the command question involved, and includes the reactions of individual officers and enlisted men. . . . Excellent.” -American Historical Review

Composed of Salzburgers from Austria, Palatines from the southern Rhineland, Swabians from the Territory of Ulm, and Swiss, the so-called Georgia "Dutch" represented the largest ethnic group in Georgia in the mid-18th century. In this revised edition of The Germans of Colonial Georgia, George Jones has distilled a lifetime of research into a single alphabetical list of some 3,500 Germans.

A collaboration between photographer Sam Jones and musician Blake Mills, Some Where Else explores the American South through photographs and music. Jones spent two years photographing small towns in Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana. Much of this part of the country has been bypassed by corporate America, making for a landscape devoid of homogenous franchises such as Wal-Mart and Applebee's. The resulting photographs not only tell the story of how America looked pre-corporate sprawl, but also spawned a collaboration with songwriter Blake Mills, who found inspiration for an entire soundtrack in Jones' imagery. The album brings the subjects of the photographs to life. Each copy includes a 152-page book with 70 plates and a 180-gram white vinyl record of original music by Blake Mills.

521 pp., illus., index An original Georgia county formed in 1805 from Creek Indian lands, Baldwin covered an area which later became parts of Jasper, Jones, Morgan, Putnam, Newton, Bibb, and Rockdale counties; therefore, its records have an importance which extends beyond its present-day boundaries. This history, by a life-long resident of Baldwin County describes its earliest days, its political organization, and the growth of its communities. Full treatment is give to the Nancy Hart Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. Milledgeville, for sixty years the capitol of Georgia, receives much attention. Among the highlights treated in historical sketches are Indian tribes and treaties, old stage roads and trails, Lafayette's visit, educational development, banks and businesses, and churches. For the genealogist, this book contains over 200 pages of biographies and sketches of some 150 families. There are lists of war veterans and marriage records from 1807 to 1820. A personal name index has been added to this reprint edition.

Deemed the "Georgia Wonder," Methodist preacher Sam Jones (1847-1906) was one of the most famous men in late-nineteenth-century America and was among the first evangelists, along with Dwight Moody, to garner a national reputation. Jones was a master orator, and, after Moody's death he assumed the mantle of America's premier popular preacher.Sam Jones' Own Book was a national bestseller on its initial release 120 years ago but has been largely out of print ever since. The volume collects Jones' most popular sermons, each peppered with southern wit, folk wisdom, and straightforward calls for reform, like his clarion call to "quit your meanness." Throughout, the book ably demonstrates the unvarnished humorist and moralizing preacher at his cleverest: "Whisky is a good thing in its place," he declares in one representative passage, "and that place is in hell. If I get there I will drink all I can get, but I won't do it here." A brief autobiographical sketch recounts his personal trials and triumphs as well.Loved or hated, praised or reviled, Sam Jones was never ignored while he occupied the national stage. He was a larger-than-life southerner who charmed crowds across America with an inviting―albeit simple―reform-minded message. His sermons and aphorisms shed light on the social and religious culture of the late Victorian era and offer modern readers a valuable window into an exciting and turbulent age in American history. This Southern Classics edition of Sam Jones' Own Book includes a new introduction by Randall J. Stephens, which explores the rise and reputation of Jones and the reception of his book.

A Rift in the Clouds chronicles the efforts of three white southern federal judges to protect the civil rights of African Americans at the beginning of the twentieth century, when few in the American legal community were willing to do so. Jacob Treiber of Arkansas, Emory Speer of Georgia, and Thomas Goode Jones of Alabama challenged the Supreme Court's reading of the Reconstruction amendments that were passed in an attempt to make disfranchised and exploited African Americans equal citizens of the United States. These unpopular white southerners, two of whom who had served in the Confederate Army and had themselves helped to bring Reconstruction to an end in their states, asserted that the amendments not only established black equality, but authorized the government to protect blacks. Although their rulings won few immediate gains for blacks and were overturned by the Supreme Court, their legal arguments would be resurrected, and meet with greater success, over half a century later during the civil rights movement.

Despite her disguise as Silver Jones, tavern maid, Lady Selena Hardwich-Jones was captured by bounty hunters combing the Georgia coast for the runaway with hair pale as spun silver and eyes like soft brown velvet. Forced onto a ship headed for her home in the West Indies, Silver vowed to make her break for freedom. But in the vessel's brash owner she found a will to match her own. Major Morgan Trask was determined to deliver his lovely human cargo safely to the aristocrat he had long admired. Was the ship's dashing captain Silver's stern captor—or her gallant protector? Tormented by doubts, tantalized by desire, Silver's emotions were in turmoil. For a secret shame kept her from telling Morgan Trask the real reason for her flight, all the while fearing—and yearning—to trust him. As they sailed into treacherous waters, their very lives in peril, Silver and Morgan could no longer deny their hunger for each other ... as they surrendered to a passion that burned hotter than the Savannah heat.

When Roots Die celebrates and preserves the venerable Gullah culture of the sea islands of the South Carolina and Georgia coast. Entering into communities long isolated from the world by a blazing sun and salt marshes, Patricia Jones-Jackson captures the cadence of the storyteller lost in the adventures of "Brer Rabbit," records voices lifted in song or prayer, and describes folkways and beliefs that have endured, through ocean voyage and human bondage, for more than two hundred years.
