Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Though little known today, Sidney Lanier (1842-81) was considered by some critics the leading writer of the post-Civil War New South, the greatest Southern writer after Edgar Allan Poe, and 'a man of heroic and exquisite character.' Lanier was a Georgian, but he spent two years after the war in Montgomery, Alabama, trying to restore his health after contracting tuberculosis while a prisoner of war. He also was principal of a school in nearby Prattville. In the 1930s, an elegant public high school was built in Montgomery and named in Lanier's honor. Author Helen Blackshear taught literature to Montgomery high school students for three decades, and her brief account of Lanier's life, especially his Montgomery period, was motivated partly from the knowledge that few today remember Lanier or his work.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Creek Captives fictionalizes for young readers real events, people, and places from the era when Alabama and Georgia were the 'wild west' of a new nation. Author Helen Blackshear tells the stories of the famous and infamous figures who peopled the old frontier in the early days of American independence. Taken from historical archives, these tales of Sam Dale, Alexander McGillivray, and William Weatherford, among others, will thrill young and old alike as fascinating history becomes real. Daring hunting exhibitions, bloodcurdling stagecoach ambushes, terrifying captures by rogue Creek sects, and survival by musket and hatchet make this pulse-pounding collection of young adult stories both fun to read and important to the understanding of the sociopolitical forces of change in pioneer days in the Southeast.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many people have interesting childhoods, eccentric relatives, go off to college, and set out as adults to make their way in the world. Few people are as keenly observant or can write as compellingly about these experiences as does Helen Blackshear in this inviting memoir. Here we are invited into extended Southern families and are given glimpses of a world that no longer exists - of genteel women's schools, of college towns when they were small communities, of first car trips and first suitors and a young girl's coming of age. The author recalls us back to her world in the early to mid-twentieth century, and reveals in the process her own generous spirit and wise heart.…
