Description: *Savannah, Brokers, Bankers, and Bay Lane* is the second book in the four-part *Civil War Savannah Series*. Filled with a great deal of original research, documented business transactions, and individual biographical profiles and stories, this is one of the more unusual books on American slavery to come along in some time. Specifically, it takes a very in-depth look at slavery as a functional but flawed business model in which ordinary citizens participated in one way or another on a daily basis. Yet it also goes beyond this to provide extraordinary stories of men and women who repeatedly risked their lives to escape slavery and in the process rewrote American history. Like the first book in this series, [Savannah, Immortal City][1], volume two is filled as well with the exceptional historical photography of Cindy Wallace. Also like the first, this is intended as a commemoration of the ongoing observations of the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War. The noted author and editor [Aberjhani][2] is identified in both volumes as the "editor-in-chief."
