Sea Island Yankee
An adventurous boyhood, a remarkable Southern community, and one jewel of a memoirClyde Bresee was just five years old in 1921 when his family moved from a tiny Pennsylvania farm to the Lawton Plantation near Charleston, South Carolina. While his father labored for the next decade to revitalize the sprawling sea island plantation's dairy operation, Clyde reveled in a world utterly foreign to the community of his birth. On James Island he encountered a society of mannered gentility, a climate where winter passed in the twinkling of an eye, a place of wandering tidal streams and vast expanses of salt marshes, and a people--African-American people--whom he had never met. In Sea Island Yankee, Bresee revisits the time and place that endowed his childhood with great happiness and that have held a powerful grip on his musings throughout adulthood.With the observant eyes of youth and the distanced perspective on an outsider, Bresee re-creates his boyhood world of water, live oaks, and Spanish moss. He vividly describes the Confederated memorial observances at which he heard white-haired veterans recount Civil War battles, and he recalls seemingly endless opportunities for swimming, crabbing, boating, and exploring. Bresee also pays tribute to the African-Americans who shaped his sea island experience, from Jamsie, his multi-talented playmate, to Ned, the indispensable plantation employee who once saved the life of Clyde's brother.

Pet Spirits
I hope this book brings comfort to those who lost a beloved pet. It brought me comfort when I got a full bodied apparition of my cat and two geese. This book contains spirit photos of my cat, other cats, a couple of our geese and other animals that either were or were not a pet, depending on the picture. Because the cost of making of a photo book is high, I omitted many pictures and put them on a web page. The link to this web page is inside the book. Two or three pages say "picture below" when it should have been "on next page". So you are not missing any pictures. In the original manuscript, the pictures were above and below each other, in book form, of course, they are on next and previous page. As Amazon charges more than the printer of the book; I suggest that if you're interested in this book; you get it for a little cheaper at: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/Jb1961
