Neither More Nor Less Than Men: Slavery in Georgia: A Documentary History

LANE, Mills

Beehive Press

This handsome gift volume surveys in words and pictures the early and colorful history of the colonial outpost, the development of its extraordinary town plan, its dignified architecture, the city's 20th century decline and its recent renewal. The book contains some two hundred pictures - historic prints and maps and photographs of buildings - and eye-witness accounts of daily life and historic struggles.

Savannah Revisited: History & Architecture

The Beehive Press

<p>This is a hardcover book published with a dust jacket by the Beehive Foundation, 321 Barnard St., Savannah, GA in 1993. Many large black and white photographs and floor plans. Kentucky and Tennessee were a historic highway to the West. Settlers from Virginia and North Carolina, in the first wave of transcontinental migration from the upper and coastal South toward the interior and the lower South, began to move into Kentucky and Tennessee in the late 18th century. These often wealthy, well educated and talented settlers made important contributions to the early architecture of the area. This book surveys some three hundred of Kentucky and Tennessee's buildings-public, private, restored, unrestored, sometimes demolished. All the famous buildings are discussed and illustrated-Locust Grove, Liberty Hall, Farmington, the Capitol in Kentucky, Cragfont, Rattle-and-Snap and the Capitol in Tennessee. There are also surprises-the most notable 18th-century room in Kentucky that survives within a house remodelled in the Greek Revival period; the Andrew Scott House, a Palladian farmhouse in middle Tennessee; four of James Dakin's designs for the Bank of Louisville; two Gothic churches in Louisville by North Carolina-born John Stirewalt, with his letters complaining about the profession of architecture; the John Carter House in the Watauga Valley, a diminutive 18th-century house with fully panelled rooms, amazingly luxurious for an unstable period of Indian troubles; and Chaumière des Prairies, a sprawling house of logs, frame, stone and brick, surrounded by a pleasure garden, built for a country gentleman from Virginia.</p>
