That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.

Quarter Leather. Zustand: Very good. The first edition of An Enquiry Into The Conduct Of General Putnam, In Relation To The Battle Of Bunker, Or Breed's Hill, attributed to David Lee Child. (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo, [5], 6-58pp. Three quarter brown morocco, marbled boards. Title stamped in gilt along the spine. Bookplate removed from front pastedown. New endpapers. Occasional light foxing throughout, toning along margins of title page. (Sabin 12696). This pamphlet was written in response to the Dearborn-Putnam controversy, a long-running historical dispute, which reignited in 1818, when General Henry Dearborn published an account of the Battle of Bunker Hill alleging that Major General Israel Putnam had shown indecision and cowardice by failing to assume effective command during the engagement. Dearborn's charges directly challenged the Revolutionary War heroism long attributed to Putnam and provoked an intense regional backlash, particularly in Connecticut, where Putnam was venerated. The controversy unfolded through a series of pamphlets, newspaper editorials, and public statements defending or attacking Putnam's conduct. Historians have since viewed the episode as an instructive example of the politicization of Revolutionary War reputations in the early republic, reflecting the tension between emerging historical inquiry and entrenched patriotic legend.
