Edisto Island: Seaside Stories From A Geechee Gal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781087897820)

EDISTO ISLAND: Seaside Stories From A Geechee Gal is a patchwork quilt of local history, family life, routes-to-roots, Gullah lore, Geechee recipes, and bits-and-pieces from the life of a gal growing up Geechee on Edisto Island, South Carolina. This is an empirical narrative of the author's personal, familial, and ancestral background as a decendant of ethnic West African and Caribbean heritage. This book highlights some of the rich cultural, social, religious, culinary, and traditional practices that are still embraced by the proud Gullah Geechee people who inhabit the remote barrier sea islands of South Carolina and Georgia.
