The book stores in Savannah, Georgia, USA that I visited are...
E. Shaver, Bookseller-
Book Lady Bookstore -
Both of these gorgeous stores are full of fancy couches and comfy chairs before the fireplaces, nifty nooks and secret out-of-the-way rooms, piled high with beautiful books, some old and rare, some new and shiny, more general bookiness than can be comprehended by the mind of man!
It's book heaven! I visited book heaven on earth, and I didn't buy a book. I did meet the owner of one, the actual Book Lady herself, and she was very sweet and gave me the run of the store. If you are ever in Savannah, you should visit these two lovely book havens!

The American Prohibition Museum - Savannah GA
See more at
The prohibition era was a tumultuous time in American history. From those in favor of to those against, combined with the people who made millions of dollars defying the ban, conflict was rampant. One thing was certain: There was a ban in place, and it was not working. In Savannah GA, there is a museum dedicated to telling the whole story of the prohibition era, which is much more than you read in the history books! A trip to the American Prohibition Museum – the ONLY museum in the United States dedicated to this era – will enlighten you with their life-like wax figures and exciting multimedia exhibits. It is a sensational place to visit, and we can’t wait to return!
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Times were tough during the late 1920s and the Great Depression era. There were no jobs; banks were closing and people were hungry. What’s worse? They couldn’t even legally drown their sorrows with a cold drink of alcohol!
Prohibition, as it was known, banned the manufacture, transportation and sale of intoxicating liquors in America from 1919-1933. Ratified on January 29, 1919, the 18th Amendment made it a legal piece of legislation. But, even before 1919, there was a movement under foot to ban booze, beer, wine and the lot from American society. Many thought that intoxicating drinks were the devil’s work. These evil spirits caused good men to go bad and families to shatter. One such person was Carry A. Nation. In the early 1900s, Carry felt it was her mission and a calling from God to stop people from drinking alcohol. She prayed and sang hymns in front of bars, and soon they closed. When that didn’t work, she started carrying a small hatchet, and upon entering the business, would attack the bar until patrons stopped her from the destruction.
You gotta admit, this must have gotten some attention!
Both local and federal government struggled to enforce Prohibition. The thinking behind prohibiting the creation and sale of alcohol was well intended, but the end result meant unregulated moonshine, bootleggers, speakeasies and gangsters.
Mobsters like Al Capone made an amazing $60 million annually from bootleg operations and speakeasies. That is equivalent to almost $900 million in today’s dollars!
What ended prohibition? Probably the fact that it wasn’t really working, and in the process, was helping to fuel mobster income and illegal sales. In 1933, the 21st Amendment to the Constitution was passed, and it became legal to create and distribute alcohol again.
And today, I am here in Savannah Georgia at the American Prohibition Museum. Within this museum are exhibits, galleries and many facts about a very dry period in American history. It is a great place to explore and learn about a time in history when having a drink could mean going to jail. Thanks for watching! We’ll see you next time on Stories, Secrets and Sagas.

2018 Update on the Bilbo Mound - The Lost Civilization Beneath Savannah Georgia
EVER HEARD OF THE BILBO MOUND?
Posted by Richard Thornton
It appears to be the oldest mound in North America and contained some of the oldest pottery in North America. It slipped under the radar because of when it was excavated and a “Naw, that couldn’t be right” . . . 30 years later. You will never guess what all this has to do with the game of golf!
Again, special thanks to retired College of Charleston professor, Gene Waddell, who donated an out of print book, published by Harvard University, which provided us this fascinating information. Bilbo is the name of a type of Renaissance Era sword, manufactured in Portugal.
Between 1937 and 1941, archaeologist Joseph Caldwell led a team of graduate students and WPA- funded team of 100 African American women that excavated Native American mound sites across the landscape of the Savannah, GA area. Most of their time was spent on Irene Island, where there had once been a royal compound and very unusual mound. Irene Island was designated to be completely destroyed in order to expand the Port of Savannah. Irene was probably the site of the capital of Chicora. *
Near the tail end of the project, when the United States government was preparing for war with Germany, Caldwell spent a few days at an inconspicuous mound just east of downtown that he called the Bilbo Mound. The mound was originally built inside a round pond by adding more and more thin layers of dirt to the center. By the time, that British colonists arrived in 1733, the pond had become a swamp.
About all Caldwell’s team found were crude, fiber-tempered potsherds, greatly decomposed skeletons and some stone tools associated with fishing. It was assumed that the pottery was merely a later offshoot of Stallings Island pottery and was called Bilbo Pottery. At the time, there was no radiocarbon dating, so the collection of Bilbo artifacts were boxed and generally forgotten.
In 1957, archaeologist William Haag from Louisiana State University became interested in the Bilbo artifacts after Humble Oil Exploration Company began drilling a test hole near the archaeological site in search of petroleum. He dug some test pits to determine the chronology of the artifacts unearthed by Caldwell. There was no pottery below a level dated at 1,870 BC. Halfway down to the base from there was dated at 2,165 BC. The base of the mound was dated at 3,540 BC.
William Haag’s peers in the archaeology profession scoffed at his findings and they were ignored by professional journals. The archaeologists knew “for a fact” that the oldest pottery in North America had to be in Ohio and at that time, the earliest known Hopewell pottery had been dated at about 100-200 AD.
In 1977, the Peabody Museum of Harvard University published the professional papers of Savannah archaeologist, Antonio Waring. The editor, Stephen Williams, did include a mention of Haag’s radiocarbon dates, but added a note that they were impossible because it would mean that mound building began in North America 3,000 years before pottery making. At the time, no one had thoroughly studied the ancient pottery coming out of eastern Georgia and southern South Carolina.
In 1993, the University of Georgia’s Department of Anthropology published a book on the archaeology of the Georgia Coast. It briefly mentioned the Bilbo Mound and said that the mound was begun around 1,700 BC . . . 1,840 years later than Haag’s number.
In 1998, the initial construction of earthworks at Watson Brake, Louisiana was dated to about 3,400 BC. All references now state that Watson Brake is the oldest known mound in North America. Everyone has completely forgotten the Bilbo Mound because their predecessors assumed that it couldn’t be true in 1957.
In 1999, radiocarbon dates were obtained for Stallings Island potsherds excavated from Stallings Island, GA, on the Savannah River near Augusta. They were determined to date from about 2,200 BC or earlier. Stallings Island pottery from other sites on the Savannah have been found to date from at least 2,400 BC and possibly 2,800 BC. So in the 21st century academicians suddenly believed that Bilbo pottery was as old as Professor Haag said it was, but seem to have no clue that his much older dates for the actual construction of the original mound were intentionally left out of the books 58 years ago.

Walking Around Forsyth Park Savannah Ga 31401
Forsyth Park is over 30 acres in the heart of the Savannah Historic District and was named after Georgia Governor at the time of the expansion in 1851, John Forsyth.
The park is bordered by Park, Drayton, Whitaker, and Gaston streets, is home to the Confederate Memorial, a half shell theatre, tennis courts, basketball courts, a cafe, two playgrounds, and ample room for sports and events. However, people from all over come to see it’s a most famous asset: the Forsyth Fountain.
Modeled after the fountains found in Place de la Concorde in Cuzco, Peru, it was added to the North end of the park in 1858. Forsyth Park is home to the Farmer’s Market every Saturday, a site for concerts during the Savannah Jazz Festival, a host to free movies in the park every few months and the destination for all kinds of festivals and special events throughout the year.
But you don’t have to wait for an event to try it out. Bring a good book and a blanket, and spend a sunny afternoon under the shade of an oak tree.

Savannah is my favorite place to visit in Georgia. The town is filled with great people, great food and great history. It would have been easier to make a list about reasons to move to Savannah but sadly people don't watch positive videos. I probably will anyway in the near future. This city deserves it.
