This story is a great way for the kids of today to see what life was like in the early 1900's during the depression. The story is based on real life experiences...what better way to learn? Good plot will keep your attention...I read it in two sittings!

Just completed reading The Treasure of Orchard Hill, and that is what it will always be to me...a treasure! It held my interest from beginning to end; was exciting, with action and mystery. And, of course, having visited the farm many times as a child, I was busy (in my mind's eye) viewing each area described, and with great curiosity, attempting to connect the characters to real persons. I loved it and I think it would be a great book for childrn, since the main character is an eleven year old girl. I believe it would certainly keep a child's interest, especially since most children love mysteries. Looking forward to your next book. Ann Craig

I recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of the Cherokee Nation. Dr. Leed's love and understanding of the Cherokee's is obvious upon reading this book. I found this book interesting and well written.

Dr. Leeds has completed a work that has long been missing. Her book is scholarly and insightful. I highly recommend it. Let's hope we see more books from Dr. Leeds.

This book is an awesome journey into what CAN happen when marriages break up and wives are vindictive. This man is so innocent he CHOOSE prison over walking away and saying he did something he didn't do.

It can be used as a text book on False Allegations of Child Abuse and should be read by anybody falsely charged with this henious crime. By reading this book, you could save yourself years in prison. Buy one for yourself, your family and your attorney.

Mr. Berry's story is typical of a national crisis of child abuse hysteria in America today. The false accusation, an incompetent attorney, a prison sentence for a crime he didn't commit - it CAN happen to you! I highly recommend this book not only for the compelling story, but for the reader to learn how to protect themselves.

I've met the author of this book and I can truely appriciate his views and the way he is able to leave his mark on a book that is basically history. All the books he has written are wonderful. They are among my favorite books.

A Walking Tour of the University of Georgia is a great gift for any alumni or prospective student. UGA is the nation's oldest state charted public University, founded in 1785, and it is a major university today, with 30,000 students enrolled and over 14,000 applying for admission each year. This book offers a concise history of all parts of the 600+ acres of the beautifly landscaped University of Georgia and is easy to carry around if you're touring the campus. It is a lot more limited in scope than Professor Boney's other book on UGA - A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA - which offers a wealth of information, but is not easy to carry as you walk through the campus. -UGA Alumnus

I absolutely LOVE this book. It's an adorable sing songy rhyming story written with childlike wild imagination and great pictures. It's a story they will never tire of hearing. It's perfect for a child expecting a new baby sibling but we are not and it's still one of our favorite books to read! Great baby shower gift.

This was my son's favorite story the months before I had my second son. A tired, rather pregnant mother doesn't have the energy to play with her son, so he imagines that having playmates like a moose, a chimp, birds or even a crocodile would be great. Lynne Fairbridge does a wonderful job of rhyming and repetition. Even after the 100th reading (I swear I'm not exaggerating), the story still brings a smile to my face. Not to ruin the surprise ending, but when God send a "brand new baby brother", my children shout out the ending. They even ran into the hospital room after the birth of their brother,shouting, "Where's my brand new baby brother?"

In the spring of 1865, Major General James H. Wilson and 14,000 Union cavalry troops destroyed key Confederate industrial facilities in what had been, until then, relatively unscathed areas of Alabama and Georgia. Yankee Blitzkrieg: Wilson's Raid Through Alabama And Georgia is a vividly reconstructed account tracing Wilson's lightning run south and places the campaign within the larger context of the last days of the Civil War. Historian James Jones describes in detail the strategic background of the raid, covers the raid from both sides, and notes the economic significance of the industrial facilities destroyed. Jones' description of Wilson's capture of Jefferson Davis is the standard interpretation of what happened when Davis was taken by Union forces. Yankee Blitzkrieg is superb reading for Civil War buffs and students of Civil War history.

Yankee Bltizkrieg is one of the most enlightening studies of Wison's raiders in their finest hour. The book follows Wilson and his men from rain drenched northern Alabama to a triumphant capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Irwinville, Georgia. It explores how Wilson effectively moved over 12,000 men for over 500 miles in the span of about a month. A feat which would have made Guderian proud! It is a must for Civil War enthusiasts and military strategist

There is a nice story here, of nice people. The writing moves without hitches, glitches nor bumps. It is very real, a terrific book for teenagers. Could and should be studied in college. Teaches without being overly preachy...actually teaches while being a very fun and funny book, too.

A must-read for anyone who grew up in Georgia during the 1940s or '50s, especially those of us who remember the day the REA (Rural Electrification Administration) hooked us up and turned us on. Life changed dramatically. If you're not old enough to remember those days, let Terry Kay show you what they were like. This book -- as usual in a Kay opus -- is hilarious at turns, tender and sad at others. Kay is a master chef at blending a bittersweet brew of young love, class consciousness and changing times. Don't deprive yourself of a look at this fine early work, which was first published in 1976 -- before Kay established himself as one of our great Southern writers with the novel, "To Dance with the White Dog."

It's helpful to have at least a passing acquaintance with Jean Piaget's theories before reading this book, but it's not necessary. Kamii shows in so many many ways that the thought life of young children is different from our own. Not only should this be required reading for all Kindergarten through second grade teachers, but also for those politicians and political pundits whose back to basics (and did we ever really leave the basics?) approach to curriculum simply makes life miserable for these poor kids. (because what they think are the basics aren't really the true basics of thought)

One interesting aspect of the book is that it was in part co-written with a primary school teacher who tries out some of Kamii's ideas in her own classroom. She is initially skeptical that Kamii knows what she's talking about, but later realizes the truth of it when confronted with the evidence of her own senses.

After you read this book, you'll never see a kid do a problem like 5 + 1 or 16 + 7 with the same eyes again.

I am a Kindergarten teacher and would recommend this book to teachers and parents looking for a good resource to teach children number concepts. Kamii not only discusses number concepts and problem solving, she also gives lots of easy to make games to make learning these things fun. Wonderful book!

Want to find out what company makes brick and mortar products in the state of Georgia. Well, then one should use this tool/ reference work , i.e., 2002 Georgia Manufacturers Register (Georgia Manufacturers Register, 2002), as an excellent tool/guide in this area.The font and outlay is very easy on the eye and the index is quite usefull. Highly Recommended.
