  • Rough Rice and Sea Island Cotton: The Georgia Coasting Trade, 1800-1861
    By author: Charles E. Pearson
    In the years prior to the Civil War, a small fleet of sailing vessels plied the waters of the southeastern coast between lower South Carolina and northeastern Florida, transporting cargoes between the port of Savannah and the small port towns and plantations of the region. This story of the little studied local coasting trade shows its vital role in the coastal plantation economy and its importance in Southern maritime history.
  • Joshua Hill of Madison: Civil War Unionist and Georgia’s First Republican Senator, 1812-1891
    By author: Bradley R. Rice
    Joshua Hill served in the United States House of Representatives prior to the Civil War and strongly opposed secession. During the War he ran for governor as the so-called peace candidate and later met with William T. Sherman in peace negotiations that failed. In November 1864 when the March to the Sea reached his hometown, Hill interceded with the Union command and earned his legendary, if sometimes exaggerated, title as the man who saved Madison, the village "too pretty to burn." Bradley R. Rice's meticulous research has produced a long overdue account of the life and times of the man who was, as his gravestone reads, "a staunch southern friend of the Union."
