The idea for this book is so simple and obvious, its surprising that it has never been done before. Author John Griffin read Thomas Wolfe's classic, Look Homeward, Angel in college and promptly fell in love with the fictionalized Gant family. An obsession turned into a labor of love as he tracked down photos of Wolfe's real family for the better part of twenty years. The result is this beautiful book brimming with photos of Wolfe's exuberant siblings, parents, and acquaintances with accompanying passages from the novel. Griffin theorized that Wolfe may have been inspired in his writing by his own family's photo album. Wolfe's own brother Fred, confirmed this -- "As soon as Tom returned to America he came home to get the old family photo album to jog his memory of things that had happened when he was growing up. Some of the photos are described perfectly in Angel."

Biographies & Memoirs

Combination cookbook and "how-to-do-it" guide, this receipt book provides for the first time a comprehensive, grass roots picture of what many Confederate housewives faces during those tumultuous years. Substitutes abound, as do ways to preserve food, care for crops and animals, make straw hats and squirrel-skin shoes, and cure everything from cancer to small pox to ingrown toenails. Half of the nearly six hundred entries here -- all published in journals or newspapers during the Civil War -- relate to the preparation and cooking of food and encompass both substitutes and standard fare, everything from snow corn cakes and cracker pie to walnut catsup and secession rice bread. Also included is advice on measuring land, estimating hay, and collecting opium for home use. "Some of these recipes may seem strange by today's standards others horrific (cures for cancer that use turkey figs, sheep sorrel, and dock root). Still others are helpful even today." -- Civil War Times

Savannah, a Southern city quietly blooming in the shadow of its more famous sister city Charleston, has recently captured its own share of the limelight. With the publication of best-selling books, Forest Gump and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, both of which were set it Savannah, tourism is at an all-time high, business is booming, and everyone wants to know more about this gem of a town. The secret is out and with it comes this page-turning narrative about the founding of a great city, and an orphan boy who would become a central character in the revolutionary effort in Georgia -- Peter Tondee. Tondee's life provides the ideal vehicle for a journey through Savannah in the eighteenth century and a rare view of the social fabric of the working class of the time.

It was Thursday, November 12, 1896, during State Fair week, when spectators were introduced to the latest in entertainment -- a college football match. This historic match would feature Tigers from Clemson Agricultural College versus the Jaguars from South Carolina College. The game was played on the infield of the horse race track. Admission was twenty-five cents. Some 2,000 fans packed the grandstand, waving banners, beating drums, and sporting their school colors. The State newspaper later reported, "the din from the students' yells and horns sounded as if the inmates from an insane asylum had broken loose." All in all it was a grand beginning for what would become an integral part of the history of South Carolina, as well as one of the finest rivalries in the nation, one that continues to this day.

More than just a hunting dog, the Boykin Spaniel, a breed that harkens back to a sire named "Dumpy" in the 1920's7, has become the official South Carolina state dog. How this little brown dog squirmed his way not only into the hearts of over 12,000 owners, but into political debate, is what intrigued fellow authors Creel and Kelley. Together they have created a comprehensive history that documents the first appearance of the breed, as well as the formation of the Boykin Spaniel Society that established a set of standards for breeding and judging. Also included are chapters depicting the dog in art and literature, as well as advice on naming practices, providing care, field training, breeders, and competitions.
