This true and exciting story collection concerns a little known
area of south Georgia, in Telfair County. The town of Milan
(locally pronounced My-lan) and the countryside present a series of
family dramas dating back to the early 1800's. Addie Garrison
Briggs, the author, introduces her family saga in her own words:
"Contrary to what one often reads in local histories and
genealogies, our ancestors were not all saints. Neither were they
all war heroes and most of them were far more likely to struggle
along on a small farm than to own a large plantation. In short, one
might say that our forebears failed to live up to our expectations.
The trouble with these ancestors was that they were real people.
Sometimes they were good, sometimes bad; sometimes they were wise,
and sometimes foolish. Perhaps they were a bit like us, with one
major difference. There seems to have been more of a spirited
quality to their lives. Whatever a man's actions, whether funny,
tragic, or decidedly wicked, he did it with a definite dash.
Therefore, while their lives may embarrass us, they will at the
same time unquestionably intrigue us."
