About
Bresee came to the Charleston, South Carolina sea islands in 1921 with his family at the age of six and returned to the Pennsylvania mountains to the family farm during the early years of the Depression. Sea Island Yankee is his recollection of his formative years on St. James Island--years marked by personal growth and increasing awareness of his small world. Often humorous and even bittersweet, the book is a poignant reflection of Southern customs, family life, school, and race relations. Especially touching is Bresee's account of his return to St. James many years later and a meeting with a black friend of his youth... A worthwhile addition for public and academic libraries. --Boyd Childress, Library Jounral.
