De Renne
three generations of a Georgia family
by William Harris Bragg
"Much of what is known today of Georgia history was preserved through the diligent efforts of a single family. From Wormsloe, their ancestral plantation near Savannah, the De Rennes built an extraordinary collection of books and manuscripts on the history of the state and the Confederacy, much of which is now housed at the University of Georgia and the Museum of the Confederacy.
This book focuses on their efforts in the years 1827 through 1970, conveying the passion and purpose with which they pursued their avocation."--BOOK JACKET. "Beyond the story of the De Renne family, Bragg also reveals much about the history of collecting and of the antiquarian book trade, as well as of the evolution of Georgia historical documentation."--BOOK JACKET.
