Sorry I could not get to read this one due to college exams.

I judged a book by its cover. I wanted to take a look at Sapelo by Buddy Sullivan, solely based on the beautiful cover photo. Despite growing up in nearby Florida, I wasn't familiar with Sapelo at all. This book is beautiful, the photos are amazing (I mean really amazing!) and the extensive research on the history and conservation of the island are truly impressive. A must have for anyone with ties to the area. I may have to stop by for a tour on my next trip to Florida!

I received a free electronic copy of this very intriguing book from Netgalley, Buddy Sullivan, and University of Georgia Press. Thank you all, for sharing your hard work with me.

This history of Sapelo Island off the coast of the Carolina's is exceptional. I added this string of Islands to my bucket list years ago, and re-enforced that addition with the reading of the novel Minnow by James E. McTeer II a couple of years ago - this book moves Sapelo right to the top of that list for me. The evolution of the island is interesting, the lives of the various Creek natives who utilized the island and it's riches over the years, the effects of various man-made alterations throughout our stewardship over the last several centuries makes for an exceptionally well taught lesson on land stewardship.

This book is a must have for coastal ecologists, coastal and Georgia historians, and those who love the marshes. The photographs are wonderful and the knowledge of the author is apparent. See my full review at address below. Thank you Netgalley.

Beautiful photography and writing throughout. I highly recommend this to any nature fans.

Sullivan has written a comprehensive history of Georgia’s Sapelo Island, from its earliest native American residents to the Spanish, French and Americans who have all left their mark on the land. The history of the island, its people and its ecosystem. This is a highly readable history, accompanied by some of the most beautiful photographs I’ve seen. For anyone who loves the wild beauty of Sapelo or any of the few pristine places we have left
