The island embraces two National Historic Landmarks, a listing reserved for the nation's most significant treasures. More than fifty archaeological sites have been excavated on Jekyll; others remain unexplored, including an Indian burial mound discovered recently on the grounds of a beachfront motel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a lively, accessible style by Jingle Davis and lavishly illustrated with photographs by Benjamin Galland, \u003ci\u003eIsland Passages \u003c\/i\u003eis a solid work of public history that presents a carefully researched document of Jekyll Island, from itsgeologic beginning as a shifting sand spit to its present-day ownership by the state of Georgia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many books have been published about Jekyll, most focus on specific eras or episodes of island history--such as the Jekyll Island Club, the landing of the slaveship \u003ci\u003eWanderer\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Du Bignon family dynasty.
