Book Description
Savannah, its mercurial history and enigmatic charms are evocative of nothing less than paradox. Home to cotton barons, literary giants (such as Flannery O'Connor and Conrad Aiken), antique dealers, and preservationists, it has helped define Southern elegance, manners, and style for the last three centuries. From the slightly faded grandeur of the Second Empire baroque Thomas Levy House, with its sumptuous collection of antique maps, prints, books, and other curiosities, to the phantasmal, Proustian decor of the grandiose and elegiac Knapp House interiors, all of the 20 houses featured in this book express a sensitivity to the city's sanguine and decadent eclecticism. Quite often a serene or verdant exterior -- designed in a Georgian, Federal, or neoclassical style by John Ash, Isaiah Davenport, William Jay, or Amos Scudder -- will relinquish its polite composure or symmetrical facade to an ingenious play of interior whimsy and light-hearted frippery. Opulent plantation manors, town houses renovated by artists, and summer cottages evincing a warmth, tasteful calculation, and measured spontaneity are featured in detail in word and image, along with a delightful foreword by John Berendt that acts as an informative addendum to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and an excellent introduction to this book.

Book Description
Savannah Mackenzie, Southern belle, has just been read her father's last will and testament. She must move to Wyoming Territory to the home of her father's brother, the ranch owner of the Double T. She was a baby when she last saw this family of strangers. Will Savannah find a way to move back East to civilization? Will she endure the crude behavior of the characters living in the rugged West? Will she follow the advice of friends, and stay away from all cowboys? As Wyoming Territory unfolds into statehood and earns the nickname, "Equality State", Savannah may find out something new about herself--her dreams, her strengths, her family, her Cheyenne community. Throughout this story, Savannah relies on the fact that she is not alone in the world, but that God is her constant companion.
