What are the effects on an isolated region when an entirely new and major energy resource is developed to commercial proportions? What happens to the population, the economy, the environment, the community, and societal relations? How does the government frame work respond, the family structure adapt, the economy expand, and life styles change under the impact of new forces which hold a prom ise of much benefit and a risk of adverse consequences? Imperial County, California, has a population of less than 90,000 people. This population has been exceptionally stable for years, cen tered as it is in an agricultural and recreational framework. The county is somewhat cut off from other areas by geographic barriers of moun'" tains and desert, by state and natural boundaries, and is the most remote of all 58 counties of California from the state capitol, Sacra mento. In the decade of the 1950s, geographical explorations for oil re vealed some anomalous structures underlying the desert and agricul tural areas in Imperial County.

Savannah Tempest is a new novel from the second era of two-Savannahs, one free and one oppressed, twisted together from slavery and hammered out through the lives of Jewish fertilizer merchants Ludlow Cohen and Gilbert Wilkins. Compelled to serve as confederate undercover agents with secessionist and Klu Klux Klan member Mike Paine, their lives take a different turn during the turbulent aftermath of the Civil War and the unyielding demand of the Klu Klux Klan organizers to re-enslave Aaron Alpeoria Bradley and Negro freedmen. Without the influence of Eliza Andrews and Amora Conte, Sociologist/Historian and novelist Dr. Edgar W. Butlerʼs gripping story, would be as incomplete as Gone With the Wind without Scarlett OʼHara. Set in 19th century Georgia, this story unfolds among some of the southʼs historic events. While General W. T. Sherman was presenting Savannah to President Lincoln as a Christmas gift, Ludlow Cohen was unknowingly experiencing some relation-ships that would impact the rest of his life and Savannah. The author weaves an arsenal of emotions—fear, hate, love, rage, and forbidden sex, that inflamed the smoldering frustrations of life in post-Civil War Savannah. The book culminates in a duel between Ludlow and Mike Paine, a leader of the Klu Klux Klan. This illustrated book had benefit of the wonderful work of many graphic artists of the era who helped visualize the panorama. Diaries, newspapers, censuses, academic books and articles were utilized in recording authentic words and sentiments of persons from all of these sources.
