Author Bio
Sarah Pierson Jones is the executive director of the Tybee Island Historical Society. She arrived on Tybee in 2006 to begin work, under the directorship of the late Cullen Chambers, as the archivist for the society after receiving her master's degree in historic preservation from Savannah College of Art and Design. During her work, she and Chambers discovered that the postcards of Tybee Island could tell a story all on their own. This book is the culmination of a 10-year effort to collect and archive the best examples of Tybee Island postcards.
