Rich in history, wildlife, and beautiful coastal landscapes,
Georgia's Cumberland Island attracts many an island tourist and
nature lover. The island's well-preserved marshes, tidal creeks,
and dune fields provide this hidden oasis with a rare natural
charm. The area is also home to a wide variety of animal species,
including loggerhead turtles, bob cats, manatees, and alligators,
just to name a few. Though Cumberland is best known for being the
nation's largest wilderness island, its history -- dating back to
the 16th century -- also includes a period of use as a mission by
the Franciscans. Among its historic sites are the magnificent ruins
of Dungeness, the house built by the Carnegie family during the
latter part of the 19th century, as well as the romantic Greyfield
Inn. This pictorial history of Cumberland Island illustrates the
people, places, and events that have shaped the area's cultural and
natural history. The island's rare solitude and beauty, which have
resulted from conservation and preservation efforts in the area,
are captured in this carefully detailed book for all lovers of
nature and history to enjoy. Though the island permits only very
limited human traffic, these images allow the reader to appreciate
the Cumberland landscape -- laced with wild animals, pirate coves,
English forts, and an African-American "settlement" -- from afar.
