Slavery and Freedom in Savannah is a richly illustrated, accessibly written book modeled on the very successful Slavery in New York, a volume Leslie M. Harris coedited with Ira Berlin. Here Harris and Daina Ramey Berry have collected a variety of perspectives on slavery, emancipation, and black life in Savannah from the city's founding to the early twentieth century. Written by leading historians of Savannah, Georgia, and the South, the volume includes a mix of longer thematic essays and shorter sidebars focusing on individual people, events, and places.

The story of slavery in Savannah may seem to be an outlier, given how strongly most people associate slavery with rural plantations. But as Harris, Berry, and the other contributors point out, urban slavery was instrumental to the slave-based economy of North America. Ports like Savannah served as both an entry point for slaves and as a point of departure for goods produced by slave labor in the hinterlands. Moreover, Savannah's connection to slavery was not simply abstract. The system of slavery as experienced by African Americans and enforced by whites influenced the very shape of the city, including the building of its infrastructure, the legal system created to support it, and the economic life of the city and its rural surroundings. Slavery and Freedom in Savannah restores the urban African American population and the urban context of slavery, Civil War, and emancipation to its rightful place, and it deepens our understanding of the economic, social, and political fabric of the U.S. South.

This project is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services. This volume is published in cooperation with Savannah's Telfair Museum and draws upon its expertise and collections, including Telfair's Owens-Thomas House. As part of their ongoing efforts to document the lives and labors of the African Americans--enslaved and free--who built and worked at the house, this volume also explores the Owens, Thomas, and Telfair families and the ways in which their ownership of slaves was foundational to their wealth and worldview.

Bed storytime
My grand daughter is enamoured with the character in the book Stick Dog, he and his friends are always hungry and work out plans as to how they are going to get something to eat. My grand daughter likes the way Stick Dog is the leader in a unobtrusive way, she reads part of a book on her kindle each night before going to sleep. I have purchased all the books of Stick Dog by this author for her because she wants to know what else he is up to next. Great reading for 10 year olds.

Definitely a Must-Have
Scent: Sandalwood
This beard kit is legit. The sandalwood scent is clean and manly without being overpowering, which makes it great for everyday wear. The oils and balms actually soften coarse beard hair, reduce itch, and leave the beard looking healthier and more manageable. Packaging feels premium and the pump bottles are easy to use — no mess, no waste. I’ve tried a lot of beard kits over the years, and this one hits the sweet spot for quality, scent, and value. Highly recommend if you want a well-groomed beard that doesn’t smell like “baby powder mixed with perfume.” If you have facial hair, you’ll notice a difference after the first use. Worth every penny.

Works great & smells good!
Scent: Sandalwood
I was concerned the facial wash would be too harsh but thankfully I was wrong. Every part of this kit compliments the other. My skin and beard feel noticeably softer, and I haven't had any acne breakouts. The scent is masculine but not too strong. This is now my new routine.

Smells amazing!!
Scent: Sandalwood
My husband loves this set. He has sensitive skin, and loves this product since it doesn’t cause any irritation, plus it smells amazing! The face wash seems to be helping with beard acne, while not drying out the hair like other washes do, and the oil moisturizes well creating a healthy shine. I would say this is well worth your money if you are looking for a full starter kit to try something new and well-rounded for your beard care.
