Robert Herndon presented Jane Walker who gave the program. Mrs. Walker is an author and she shared the many trials that she has experienced writing and self publishing her books. Her late husband shared with her many stories about Telfair County and that is what inspired her to write. She also did research and other preparation such as rafting and bird watching before beginning her writing. Her first book was “Widow of Sighing Pines”. Next she wrote “The Dodge Land Troubles”. and then a book on the Cherokees titled “In The Lion’s Paw”.
