Okefinokee Album
- Francis Harper and Delma Presley
- This is a fabulous book that tells of the lives of the early settlers of the Okefenokee Swamp, before the outside world encroached in the 1940s. It is based on the writings of Francis Harper, a naturalist from Cornell University who visited the swamp repeatedly between 1912-1951, even building his own cabin and bringing his family for extended stays. His detailed notes and records give us these profiles of the swamp dwellers, their wisdom, superstition, songs, stories, folkways, unique speech, and a wealth of information about the Okefenokee Swamp.
- A great book on the awesome Okefenokee Swamp and its independent , resourceful people who built homes, raised families, and developed a distinctive way of living in one of Georgia’s most isolated areas.
