Live Oaks & Gentle Folks - Hardcover

10.5'' X 8.5'', 324 pages, full color art and photographs. Southern ladies and gentlemen find in Baldwin County, Alabama a comfortable place... a gentle place... and a place filled with delicious stories, interesting characters, and recipes from many different cultural traditions. The magnificent Baldwin County Live Oak trees that gracefully spread their large meandering branches over narrow neghborhood roads are the reason for this book. The ladies of the Montrose Garden Club in Montrose, Alabama, have protected those trees for more than fifty years. Now they are working to encourage the care and maintenance of these priceless treasures through the publication of Live Oaks & Gentle Folks, a compendium of the historic landmarks, architectural treasures, recipes and traditions of Baldwin County.
