William Barton McCash (Author)
WILLIAM BARTON McCASH was a professor of history at Middle
Tennessee State University.
A carefully researched, well-written, lavishly illustrated volume
that evokes a lost, fairytalelike era.--Islands
A fascinating book . . . An in-depth study into an institution that
has come down through social history more in myth than in
fact.--Baltimore Sun
A perfect book for the well-appointed coffee table . . . It
chronicles a time when leisure was the perquisite of great wealth,
when the monied elite of America sought splendid and exclusive
isolation on one of Georgia's Golden Isles.--Georgia Journal
Extensive and very readable . . . A well-documented and extensively
illustrated history.--Georgia Librarian
In this lavishly illustrated volume . . . 240 photographs speak
eloquently of 'the richest, the most exclusive, the most
inaccessible' social organization in the world.--Booklist
Professors McCash are to be commended for this intelligent,
long-need study. Working from widely scattered club records,
letters, and diaries, they have crafted a compelling, sometimes
poignant, social history. Interspersed with dozens of beautifully
evocative photographs, it is one of those rare productions
possessing an appeal to scholar and layman alike.--Alabama
Review
Through the rich use of architectural drawings, maps, and above
all, photographs, the Jekyll Island Club history could not be more
endearingly told.--Virginia Quarterly Review
