Opis

This book gives a unique view of life on and off Sandy Island for more than half a century, as seen through the eyes of a Gullah descendent - a person who actually lived on the isolated island for a time many years ago, and whose roots are still deeply embedded on the island. He maintains family ties to the island to this day. This book captures the history of the Gullah people of Sandy Island from post reconstruction to today. A glimpse into the customs, habits, folkways, and traditions of a unique people and their culture, this 170-page book includes more than 50 pages of pictures - island scenes, paintings, and illustrations by the author.
