Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

The format is approximately. 8.25 inches by 10.75 inches. 80 pages. Illustrated covers. Illustrations (some in color). Map inside back cover. On March 11, 1913, Malcolm Bell, Jr., was born in Savannah. He attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where in addition to academics he excelled in athletics. In 1939, Malcolm became involved with The Federal Writers? Project, part of the Work Progress Administration designed to provide jobs for historians, teachers, writers, and librarians. Malcolm and his wife Muriel, both photographers, were invited by Mary Granger, the District Supervisor, to take part in a project documenting the oral histories of elderly African Americans in coastal Georgia, many themselves former slaves. The result was Drums and Shadows, published in 1940. When the United States entered World War II, so did Malcolm Bell, Jr. as a member of the United States Coast Guard. By 1944 Bell was Captain of a Coast Guard Freighter ferrying much needed supplies to troops in the Pacific. Eventually Malcolm would return home to a career in banking as President, and later chairman, of the Savannah Bank and Trust, but the two would pursue their love of history. Malcolm would serve as President of the Georgia Historical Society, where he wrote extensively, contributing articles to the Georgia Historical Quarterly. Malcolm also wrote several books including Historic Savannah (1977), Savannah Ahoy (1959) and Major Butler?s Legacy: Five Generations of a Slaveholding Family (1987). He received the GHS John Macpherson Berrien Award for lifetime achievement in 2000. Savannah, a thriving American city holding firmly to its past is shown in the sensitive photographs of N. Jane Iseley. The text is by Malcolm Bell, Jr., s Savannah native and esteemed local historian. Sponsored by Historic Savannah Foundation, Inc. whose preservation efforts have been acclaimed far and wide, SAVANNAH is a tribute to the city founded by James Edward Oglethorpe in 1733. Publication was made possible by Charles H. Morris and Morris Newspaper Corporation of Savannah.
