Book Description

A resident of Saint George Island explores the talents and motivation that led a poet and evangelist to purchase the island in 1916. The charismatic William Lee Popham was a gifted speaker and enthusiastic writer who used his romance novels as equity to purchase the island. Sales of lots were slow until he hit upon a way to provide income from oystering. William Lee began to acquire land and leases to oyster bottoms but suffered ups and downs due to rivalries and accusations of fraud. Read about a man who was the dominant force in developing Apalachicola and Saint George Island from 1916 to 1936! The book is replete with photographs and illustrations, and contains a hilarious chapter about Sex on the Beach, not to mention more about oyster reproduction than you would ever want to know! Pediveligers, anyone?

Book Description

You may think you know the South for its food, its people, its past, and its stories, but if there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that the region tells far more than one tale. It is ever-evolving, open to interpretation, steeped in history and tradition, yet defined differently based on who you ask. This Is My South inspires the reader to explore the Southern States––Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia––like never before. No other guide pulls together these states into one book in quite this way with a fresh perspective on can’t-miss landmarks, off the beaten path gems, tours for every interest, unique places to sleep, and classic restaurants. So come see for yourself and create your own experiences along the way!
