From the foremost authority on the famed Georgia barrier island, here is the first in-depth look at Jekyll Island's early history. Much of what defines our view of the place dates from the Jekyll Island Club era. Founded in 1886, the Club was the private resort of America's moneyed elite, including the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, and Pulitzers. In her new book that ranges from pre-Columbian times through the Civil War and its aftermath, June Hall McCash shows how the environment, human conflict, and a desire for refuge shaped the island long before the Club's founding.

Jekyll's earliest identifiable inhabitants were the Timucua, a flourishing group of Native Americans who became extinct within two hundred years after their first contact with Europeans. Caught up in the New World contests among France, Spain, and England, the island eventually became part of a thriving English colony. In subsequent stories of Jekyll and its residents, the drama of our nation plays out in microcosm. The American Revolution, the War of 1812, the slavery era, and the Civil War brought change to the island, as did hurricanes and cotton farming. Personality conflicts and unsanctioned love affairs also had an impact, and McCash's narrative is filled with the names of Jekyll's powerful and often colorful families, including Horton, Martin, Leake, and du Bignon.

Bringing insight and detail to a largely untold chapter of Jekyll's past, June Hall McCash breathes life into a small part of Georgia that looms large in the state's history.

Delivery on a timely manner
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
It’s not as nice as the charming toilet paper I was expecting it to be just as good or or a little at least a little bit charming, but it wasn’t. It’s not harsh, but it’s kind of thin so I really wasn’t happy with that.

Nice paper towels
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
I was sad that I must of read this wrong because they were not like the material ones, that you would use for everything. They are durable and do not leave lint on the windows when you use it to clean them. This was a good value for the money even if they were the wrong ones.

The best there is. You'll always want more.
Package Size Name: Super, Size: 81 sheet (Pack of 12)
Magnificent! Absolutely magnificent! I never thought I would enjoy them this much. I was such a mess before these came into my life. So soft and supple yet thick and tough. I can't get enough! If only I knew of these before my wife left me. The power and respect they would have demanded! I imagine her falling to her knees on the floor with it in hand while looking up at me. Her hand gripping and sliding back and forth taking care of the spill before me as she thanks me for giving it to her. You'll keep coming back for more!

High Quality Paper Towels That Actually Last
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 16)
These are easily some of the best paper towels we’ve used. The cloth-like feel makes a noticeable difference right away. They’re soft but still very strong, and they hold up well even when wet without tearing apart. Absorbency is excellent, so you don’t need to use multiple sheets to clean up a mess. One sheet usually gets the job done, which makes them more efficient than most standard options. They’re also thick enough to handle tougher cleaning without falling apart. Overall, great quality and very reliable. The whole family uses them, and they’ve held up well for everything we need.

Feels super high quality
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
Best paper towel ever - honestly they don’t feel like paper, they’re soft almost like an actual towel. These are the best for wiping my kids faces and hands because they’re soft and don’t fall apart. Also great for pets because I can scrub my carpet when my dog has an accident and the paper towel does not shred. 10/10 recommend these. They also don’t unravel and fling all over the place so I like to have a roll by my back door for the dogs paws, super convenient. The roll kind of sticks to itself so it stays tidy.
