Voices from St. Simons
personal narratives of an island's past
by Stephen Doster
"The seventeen narratives in Voices from St. Simons represent "an oral archaeological dig," writes editor Stephen Doster. Many of those interviewed are descendants of masters and slaves. Surprisingly, they speak of racial issues with greater compassion than bitterness. But the volume encompasses much more than that." "Here, the people of the Golden Isles recall waving farewell to Paul Redfern when his airplane took off from a sandy beach on his ill-fated attempt to outdo Charles Lindbergh." "They describe jumping into a fast boat and riding to the rescue of merchant sailors torpedoed by a German U-boat." "They tell of playing childhood sports - and dominating the competition - alongside future NFL legend Jim Brown, who was raised on St. Simons."
"They remember piloting the ship that, due to a helmsman's error, hit the Sidney Lanier Bridge, causing one of the worst such disasters in American history."--Jacket.
