From the foremost authority on the famed Georgia barrier island, here is the first in-depth look at Jekyll Island's early history. Much of what defines our view of the place dates from the Jekyll Island Club era. Founded in 1886, the Club was the private resort of America's moneyed elite, including the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Pulitzers. In her new book that ranges from pre-Columbian times through the Civil War and its aftermath, June Hall McCash shows how the environment, human conflict, and a desire for refuge shaped the island long before the Club's founding.

Jekyll's earliest identifiable inhabitants were the Timucua, a flourishing group of Native Americans who became extinct within two hundred years after their first contact with Europeans. Caught up in the New World contests among France, Spain, and England, the island eventually became part of a thriving English colony. In subsequent stories of Jekyll and its residents, the drama of our nation plays out in microcosm. The American Revolution, the War of 1812, the slavery era, and the Civil War brought change to the island, as did hurricanes and cotton farming. Personality conflicts and unsanctioned love affairs also had an impact, and McCash's narrative is filled with the names of Jekyll's powerful and often colorful families, including Horton, Martin, Leake, and du Bignon.

Bringing insight and detail to a largely untold chapter of Jekyll's past, June Hall McCash breathes life into a small part of Georgia that looms large in the state's history.

ZERO regrets purchasing this gorgeous screen!!
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel
I am just really blown away by how gorgeous this screen is and I could not be happier with it. It's lighter weight, but still substantial and the print and colors are just exquisite. I would buy this again 10 times over. I can't even believe it just over $200 for a 6 panel screen of this quality and beauty. WELL worth it and the best deal you will see out there for something like this. The screws and the way they work took a little bit of a learning curve, but once I realized what each controlled, it was smooth sailing. The screen arrives fully assembled, but you just need to tighten and loosen is some areas to accommodate your needs for its position and the floor it's standing on. Nothing too complicated at all, just a few tweaks here and there

Don’t get naked
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 4 Panel
In low light, you can easily see through the partition, so just know that. No assembly required. Just pop it out of the box. Good product.
