The second in a series of three book discussions focusing on Eugenia Price and her St. Simons Trilogy is Tuesday, July 28 at 10 a.m. in the A. W. Jones Heritage Center. Billie Huggins, a local step-on tour guide and a volunteer at the St. Simons Island Lighthouse, will lead the discussion on Price’s book New Moon Rising.
The sequel to Lighthouse, New Moon Rising tells the story of James Gould’s son, Horace, whose northern education has put him at odds with his Georgia heritage. Dismissed from Yale for being involved in a student rebellion, he returns to St. Simons Island where he works on the family plantation, has nine children and prepares to fight for the Confederacy even though he has doubts about the institution of slavery.
Sponsored by the Coastal Georgia Historical Society, the event is open to the public and no registration is required. Copies of Price’s books are available in the A. W. Jones Heritage Center museum store for purchase. Call the Society at (912) 638-4666 for more information.

St. Simons Island Star Walk July 23
Can you find the North Star? The Big Dipper? How about Orion’s Belt?
You can locate these constellations and more if you come to the Coastal Georgia Historical Society’s Star Walk on July 23 at 8:30 p.m.
Led by astronomer David Dundee of the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA, the program will begin with a short introduction in the Education Building behind the Maritime Center at the Historic Coast Guard Station on East Beach. Participants will then move outside and down to the beach to gaze at the stars as Mr. Dundee completes his presentation with a star tour.
Bring your telescope for the second half of the program (not required).
Admission fee for the program is $10 per person. Admission fees are waived for current Coastal Georgia Historical Society members. Call the Society at (912) 638-4666 to register.
