An exceptional historical film. For anyone interested in the history of the Barrier Islands, or the Atlantic coast of Georgia or northern Florida, this is a "must-see". The research is extensive, the photography is outstanding, the illustrations and maps are excellent, and the story lines are exceptionally well done and compelling. This compares very favorably with with the best commercial history series available. I was not fortunate enough to live there but, I have visited there several times, it is one of my favorite places to visit, and this film does an exceptional job of capturing the essence of Saint Simons Island.
Ever since I started collecting the books of Eugenia Price, I have become enthralled with this area. My husband and I did the American Cruise through here, stopping at Christ Church. While he wanted to stay with the tour of the church, I HAD to visit the cemetery. I became part of the families in the books and felt that these souls were MY ancestors. I think he thought I had lost my mind! I took flowers to Eugenia’s grave. I would love to retire there but, like she said, so much has changed, like the traffic. I just want a home on the marsh to hear the birds and see the water and beaches. I guess I should have bought a small home and garden there many years ago. Guess I’ll just have to visit again.
This was fabulously done I personally know the Taylor’s the Burns the postal the caterers and I used to play as a teenager at Canadas point knowing the Taylor family life on Saint Simons is so different now but you still have to love it in
Wow! This was Awesome! Thank you for sharing it. I grew up in that area and I am a huge fan of history- anthropology and archaeology. Although I live about 80 miles inland now, my family and many friends still live there. I had to share this on Facebook :)
I love st Simon's. I stayed at Queen's Court this week. I kept hearing something move quickly in the trees. Felt like. I was been watched. I've stayed at the Sea Palm resort. Strange sightings and feels. The Geechee ppl are something else. Lol They fish for fun. I love going to the pier to watch dolphins and boats/ships.
Started by Howard Coffin in 1928, Sea Island Corporation filed for Bankruptcy Protection in 2010. The Company blamed the 2008 Financial Crisis. Creditors took over the Resort thereafter.
Beautiful place went there in 80 or 81 was visiting family in Brunswick,SHALOM to my people the McCullough, Armstrong,McClow,McCullough, and Churchill family
Excellent video and presentation! I am curious about a specific part of Georgia history, hoping I can ask Mr. Doster questions via email? If so, may I post my email address to be reached?
at the Beginning he describes a CAsique that's the potical system the Natives of the Caribbean had, is it possible that the peoples of Cuba or the Bahamas sailed up the coast of florida and did some extensive trading witht he peoples of Georgia? the Taino came from modern day Venezuela but developed a distinct culture from them it's possible they adopted cultures from the Maya, Missisippi and other major civilizations of the area. but it's possible that they could of sailed from cuba hugged the coast of florida then gone to Georiga
Good question. It's possible, but so far not supported by archaeological evidence, at least not on the Georgia coast. Noted Timucua historian Jerald Milanich addresses the issue of the Timucua tribe's origins on pages 63-65 of his book, The Timucua (Blackwell Publishers, 1996). Their vocabulary shares characteristics of native Caribbean languages, but the archaeological evidence doesn't support the theory that they came from the Caribbean. The early Spanish linguists may have conflated native Florida and Georgia languages with those they had already learned in the Caribbean and South America. Still many unanswered questions. Thanks for bringing this up.
Stephen, thank you for your work!! Incredible job!

this is a whole documentary with only 10,000 views. critically underrated, good work!
Thank you. I haven't promoted it. People interested in the island's history seem to find it.
Bless you sir! Awesome video

An excellent film that presents not only a history of St. Simons but also of the Georgia to Florida coast for the past centuries.
Thank you for an entertaining history lesson for the drive back to Atlanta! This is our favorite vacation spot!
Well done and much appreciated, seems like a lot of time of effort went into making this video and I enjoyed every minute of it

High five, Bo. Well done.
