Runaways and the Last of the Guale

Description

Inside these pages lies an epic tale, hidden in metaphorical clay vessels, hidden in word of mouth. Set on Tybee Island, Little Tybee Island, Savannah, Georgia, and Saint Helena Island, South Carolina, it is the story of the remarkable Milam family. In the era before the Civil War, this family saw all human beings as their brothers. They were opposed to slavery, and they anguished over the displacement of the Indians of the region. But they worked in the system of their day. Over generations they saved runaway slaves and sustained hidden enclaves of Indians.
