Descriere Growing Up Coastal: Life on the Georgia Coast - Clay Sikes

\n \nGrowing Up Coastal: Life on the Georgia Coast\n \nBy: Clay Sikes\n \n \n\n \nIn the drug filled 1960's and 1970's, life for a young person in Liberty County Georgia was much like living in the wild west. With a military base on the west end of the county and a pristine, well-travelled coastline to the east, life in the small Southern town was anything but dull. And being the son and grandson of the local sheriffs meant that Clay saw much more than the average citizen.\n \n \n\n \nThe stories in this book chronicle the drastic cultural shift that was occurring in America during the '60s and '70s, from the birth of the booming new smuggling cocaine and marijuana trade, to the influx of thousands of troops to a new military base on the Georgia Coast. For a teenager like Clay, these were times filled with excitement, creating lifelong bonds, and memories lasting a lifetime. These are the extraordinary tales of ordinary people told by a man who was there to witness it all.\n \n \n\n \nAbout the Author\n \n \n\n \nClay Sikes was born and raised on the Georgia Coast. After graduating from Georgia Southern in 1971, he returned to the coast and found his way into real estate, an industry that was about to experience a rapid boom.\n
