A collection of over 50 ghost stories from across Georgia.
They were bold, arrogant, brutal. They strode the rolling deck of a ship more easily than the tame streets of a town. They were wealthy--some beyond the wildest dreams of the governors and kings who first supported them, then pursued them. They were the pirates of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and they terrorized shipping lanes and coastal villages around the world.
The pirates in this book sailed far and wide, but all made their mark on the Atlantic coast. Some made their home there, such as the notorious Blackbeard, who anchored his ship off Ocracoke Island and lived for a time in Bath, North Carolina. Others put ashore just long enough to change seafaring history, such as the rakish Calico Jack Rackham, whose chance meeting in Providence, Rhode Island, with a spirited redheaded girl would give the world another legendary pirate--the beautiful Anne Bonny. Though popular culture has created an image of a typical pirate, plying his trade with dash and vigor beneath his skull-and-crossbones flag, in reality these men--and women--were of character and background as varied as the flags they flew.
In this collection of pirate tales, you will meet scions of colonial aristocrats like Rhode Island's Thomas Tew and the dandified Stede Bonnet of Barbados; off-spring of unassuming farm families like Pennsylvanian Rachel Wall and Massachusetts' Charles Gibbs; and those like Edward Low of England, who escaped lives of desperate poverty and squalor by putting to sea. What these men and women had in common was a yearning for excitement, a love for the seafaring life, and a taste for the wealth that piracy could provide. Romance, danger, suspense, adventure--all this and more awaits you on board the tall ships with the pirates of the Atlantic coast. Join them now for a voyage you will never forget.
Nancy Roberts, a popular Southern writer and storyteller, was the acclaimed, award-winning author of more than twenty-five books where she blended suspense, mystery, and history with a talent for finding true stories of the supernatural. She was aptly proclaimed the Custodian of the Twilight Zone by Southern Living magazine, and was frequently introduced as the First Lady of Folklore. She was a featured speaker or teller at several locations: the North Carolina Museum of History; Thalian Hall in Wilmington, North Carolina; Kiawah Island Resort, South Carolina; University of Illinois at De Kalb; and many schools and libraries throughout the Southeast. She passed away in the fall of 2008.
Nancy Roberts has often been described to as the First Lady of American Folklore and the title is well deserved. Throughout her decades-long career, Roberts documented supernatural experiences and interviewed hundreds of people about their recollections of encounters with the supernatural.
This nationally renowned writer began her undertaking in this ghostly realm as a freelance writer for the Charlotte Observer. Encouraged by Carl Sandburg, who enjoyed her stories and articles, Roberts wrote her first book in 1958. Aptly called a custodian of the twilight zone by Southern Living magazine, Roberts based her suspenseful stories on interviews and her rich knowledge of American folklore. Her stories were always rooted in history, which earned her a certificate of commendation from the American Association of State and Local History for her books on the Carolinas and Appalachia.
A new expanded compendium of spine-tingling tales of Western haunts and horrors
Once deemed the custodian of the twilight zone by Southern Living, celebrated storyteller and ghost hunter Nancy Roberts returns to familiar subject matter in this newly expanded edition of her Ghosts of the Wild West, a finalist for the Spur Award of the Western Writers of America in its original edition.
In these seventeen ghostly tales--including five new stories--Roberts expertly guides readers through eerie encounters and harrowing hauntings across Kansas, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the Dakotas. Along the way her accounts intersect with the lives (and afterlives) of legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Doc Holliday. Roberts also justifies the fascination among ghost hunters, folklorists, and interested tourists with notoriously haunted locales such as Deadwood, Tombstone, and Abilene through her tales of paranormal legends linked to these gunslinger towns synonymous with violence and vice in Western lore. But not all of these encounters feature frightening specters or wandering souls. Roberts also details episodes of animal spirits, protective presences, and supernatural healings.
Forever destined to be associated with adventure, romance, and risk taking, the Wild West of yore still haunts the American imagination. Roberts reminds us here that our imaginations aren't the only places where restless ghosts still roam.
Growing up in a joint family with 17 siblings and cousins, we had to learn how to entertain ourselves without many resources. I was crafty from an early age; it is something I got from my mother.
Now, as a responsible mother of three highly energized rascals myself, I knew I had to do something to keep the expenses down, and the idea to make these homemade thingamajigs for my kids will not only keep them off the gadgets, but it will also give them something to bond over-whether with me, or with each other.
And even despite their varying ages and hobbies-my pretty loves are eight, six and a half, and four-these natural homemade toys will keep them happily playing together for hours on end. That's certainly a lot cheaper than buying toys and games for each child depending on their likes, dislikes, and age group!
In this book, we'll talk about how to make your own slime, clay, play putty, and plenty of other classic kids' favorites using all-natural, environmentally safe ingredients to make sure that you and your kids' health is covered.
You'll learn plenty of tips and tricks on what to do and what NOT to do based on my own quirky experiences, as well as get some recommended activities that you and your children can do together without breaking the bank-because who says fun has to be expensive, right?

This is the first book to tie together the earlier gold rush in the Carolinas and Georgia with the well-known California gold rush of 1849. It presents a history of the Southern gold rush and the legends that have grown up around it. Nancy Roberts tells how it all began in North Carolina, which supplied all the domestic gold coined at the U.S. Mint between 1804 and 1828. She tells the story of the discovery of the gold in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama and later in California and Colorado, including how the Virginia, Carolina and Georgia gold miners abandoned their mines within weeks after news arrived of the discovery of gold at Sutter's Creek. And, for a while, they were said to be the only experienced miners in the Western gold fields.
Ms. Roberts recreates with gusto and suspense the experiences of real people--the adventurers and entrepreneurs, family men and rascals, immigrants and bandits, entertainers and miners--and also includes several tales of the supernatural from the period.
There was North Carolina's flamboyant Walter George Newman, who fleeced the wolves of Wall Street; Fool Billy, who South Carolinians disocered was not a fool at all; a romantic specter called Scarlett O'Hara of the Dorn Mine; Georgian Green Russell, with his beard braided like a pirate, who founded Denver; Free Jim, the only black man in Dahlonega to own his own gold mine only to leave it for San Francisco; the Grisly Ghost of Gold Hill; a general from North Carolina who became an influential Californian; the ghost Bride of Vallecito; and California's bandit, the enigmatic Black Bart.
Praying is merely talking to a friend. There is no judgment of eloquence; no rules of how short or long a prayer is. The important thing is just to take some time to quiet our busy lives and spend time talking to and being in the presence of our Lord, who loves us with all his heart.
