A propos de cet article

Clay sits quietly on the west bank of the St. Johns River.Compared with neighbors Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Clayattracts relatively little attention, and its stories often go untold.In 2013, members of Clay County Writers werechallenged to collaborate on an anthology. More than a dozenlocal writers set out to explore people, communities, and eventsthat shaped the character of this area. Drawing on historicaldocuments, interviews, and other materials, each writer uneartheda fresh point of view. Residents responded generously, sharingmemories, contacts, and other resources.Organized in roughly chronological order, these storiesspan the early 1800s to the present. They offer glimpses of thechallenges, conflicts, and commitments of a diverse group ofpeople-people who made a difference in Clay and in the world.Though the stories belong to the individual writers, in allways, this anthology has been a community effort.Read more Continue reading Read less REVIEW"These stories about Clay inhabitants captivate and lureone in. I wanted to see, feel, taste, and touch through these localheroes. The authors imbued the work with dialect, empathy, history, and humor.

Embedded in Clay transported me to the darkwaters of Black Creek. I marveled at the history of artist AugustaSavage and the beauty of her works, and I enjoyed the story ofthe chimpanzees at the Monkey Farm."Ron Word, retired wire service correspondent"When brought face to face with [the train], FrankTowers seized the moment in history and became a messenger ofprovidence and sustenance to the desperately sick Jews. Longafter the war, he continued to reunite veterans and Holocaustsurvivors around the world to tell their stories. As AmericanJews, we felt touched by his compassion and regret we didn'tmeet him."Gary and Penina Weltman, Jacksonville, Florida"These stories taught me a great deal about where I grewup, yet knew little about. Born and raised in Jacksonville, my.…
