If any single book written by Eugenia Price, one of the world's great storytellers, can be credited with bringing her meticulously researched historical fiction to the attention of the world - it is this one! Savannah is so well written that you will think you are living in the period when Factors such as Robert MacKay, land speculators like Don Juan McQueen and Merchants such as James Habersham, Jr (Banking) ruled the waterfront. Not just an entertaining story but one based on true characters whose legacy lives on to this day! An unforgettable story of the passion, the glory and splendor of the Old South without the usual cloyingly sweet mythical visions of a past that never was. This is in-your-face Savannah with inspiring tales of courage, piousness, highly educated patriots, scalawags and thieves. The Savannah where the first steamboat to sail across the Atlantic Ocean was designed and constructed. A Savannah at a time when cotton was King and fortunes were made - and lost.
