The book about the battle
"Remember Jekyll Island is a thorough and detailed account of the Jekyll Island battle. Anyone who wants a good background on the bitter fight, and the many folks concerned about the future of Jekyll Island, should read this book. Remember Jekyll Island shows why we must be ever vigilant and ready to fight those—and there are a lot of them—who would sacrifice our natural heritage for a few lousy bucks. I never cease to be amazed over the power of greed, and this book shows how relentless and entrenched that power can be."
-- Charles Seabrook is a nature columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He is the author of Cumberland Island: Strong women, Wild Horses, among others.
"Here is an impassioned, impeccably researched book born out of alarm at the prospect of losing something precious. Here is a labor of immense love. Not only is it an account of the near-theft by political operatives of Georgia's Jekyll Island -- a refuge belonging to the people -- it is as well a treatise on the primacy of nature in our lives and a call for help. Author Babs McDonald has done all of us a great service. Take this book to heart. Consider it a lifeline. Grab hold of our gorgeous Jekyll and never let it go."
-- Janisse Ray is the author of the New York Times best-seller Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, among others.
