MARTHA L. KEBER is a professor of history at Georgia College & State University.
In Seas of Gold, Seas of Cotton Martha L. Keber limns the
fascinating life of Christophe Poulain DuBignon. . . . Historians
who seek a greater understanding of the Atlantic maritime world and
the ways in which the tumultuous and stormy events of the 'age of
revolution' transformed the lives of those who lived through them
will profit from this book. Indeed, Keber's work will appeal to
anyone interested in a good story, well told.--Journal of Southern
History
Keber aims for a scholarly audience in this meticulously researched
volume that abounds in detail and rests on documentation gleaned
from repositories in France, South Africa, Mauritius, India, and
Georgia. . . . Seas of Gold, Seas of Cotton is a finely crafted
history, and perhaps more impressive, a model of the way in which
the historian dependent principally on public records may fashion a
biography.--History: Review of New Books
This book is a triumph of research. . . . The author takes us by
the hand and leads us into the world of the 18th century French
minor aristocracy. . . . The result is that readers will gain an
understanding of the French settlements in Georgia that they never
had before.--Edward J. Cashin
