- Though only 110 miles long, Georgia's coast is a wealth of historic beauty- Georgia is a unique combination of wartorn history and genteel character- Stories of Civil War soldiers, ploneers and settlers, Native Americans, seafarers and pirates (including Blackbeard), and even a ghost or two- St. Simons Lighthouse, one of America's oldest continuously working lighthouses and home to the ghost of keeper Frederick Osborne, whose footsteps can be heard in the tower at night- Jekyll Island Club, a posh retreat established in 1886 by some of the wealthlest families in America, Including the Astors, Rockefellers, and Vanderbits- Fort King George was called the invalid Regiment because many of its soldiers were either sickly or victims of foreign campaigns- Each site is illustrated with a full-color painting- A great gift for lighthouse or art enthusiasts
