Richmond Hill Spotlight
Help Preserve our Local Treasure!
Almost exactly 150 years after the first shots of the Civil War were fired, another wave of volunteers is about to descend on America's storied battlegrounds - only this array of dedicated men and women will be armed with paint brushes, trash bags and weed whackers.
On Saturday, April 2, 2011, history buffs and preservationists from around the country will team up with the Civil War Trust to help clean and restore America's priceless battlefields. Read more....

The book is a historical novel, based on true events, centered around life on two large antebellum plantations along the Georgia Coast; Hampton Point, a cotton plantation and Butler Island, a rice plantation. The plantations, situated in the Altamaha River delta are both owned by Pierce Butler, an absentee landlord. His strong personality effects his family and the lives of the slaves on the two plantations. The novel is based on historic fact and covers the antebellum period from the early 1800's through Reconstruction. The story centers on the lives of two formidable slave women, Aunt Mollie and Raylin, their slave community, and the Butler and King families who own and manage the plantations. Read more.... |
