The plantation was abandoned when the Civil War began. In 1866, Butler's daughter Frances returned with her father to attempt to restore the plantation to its former glory. Unlike her younger sister Sarah who was aligned with her mother, Frances had adopted her father's pro-slavery views and kept a diary like her mother. She published it in 1883, titled Ten Years on a Georgia Plantation (ISBN 1-498-15893-5).[9] It is considered the best account of what it was like for whites who were former plantation owners in Georgia during Reconstruction. In Frances' view, blacks fared better under slavery than freedom. Due to the lack of slave labor, and the postwar depression in the South, plantations were doomed to fail, and the fifth generation of Butlers sold the remains of their lands in 1923.[10]
A description of the plantation from November 1873:
I am monarch of all I survey, which is an island of about 1,600 acres, surrounded by a muddy-looking river, called the romantic-sounding Indian name of the Altamaha. ... Our castle is a neat but not gaudy little frame house, with a piazza in front of it, from which you descend by six steps to a garden, or rather a small grove of orange trees, palmettoes, oleanders, and roses. The first-named are laden with golden fruit, of a quality unsurpassed anywhere in the world, I am bold to say, for size and sweetness. We are hard at work now packing them up for market, and shall have over 100 barrels for sale. The interior of the mansion is in accordance with its modest exterior; a small dining-room, a small drawing-room, a very small office or study, a small hall, a pantry, and two comfortable bedrooms on the ground-floor, and two more comfortable bedrooms over the dining and drawing-rooms. At the rear of the house about twelve yards, is what is called the colony, where are situated the kitchen, servants' sitting-room and bedrooms, the laundry and dairy, and in a corner of the yard is a turkey-house, full of prime Christmas fowl.
Behind the colony is Settlement No. 1, where the coloured people (I believe this is the correct term) reside. It consists of an avenue of orange trees, on each side of which are rows of wooden houses, and at the end of which, facing the avenue, is what was the old hospital, but which is now half of it the church. ... Immediately in front of our garden is the Altamaha river, with the landing-place for the boats, and from which all the water-supply is drawn. On the left of us is the overseer's house, a larger and more imposing edifice, although not so comfortable as ours. On the right are the barns and the threshing mill and engine, which are very nearly finished, and present a magnificent appearance from the river. The old mill, with all the valuable machinery, was burnt down a year ago. The rest of the island consists of rice-fields, of which about 1,000 acres are under cultivation or cultivable, some marsh land covered with thick bamboo and reeds, in which the wild duck do congregate, and some scrubby brushwood; also Settlements Nos. 2 and 3, an old rickety, but very large barn, a ruined mill, a ruined sugar-house.[11]

Although the story of guitarist/vocalist Jonathan Butler is one narrative, it tends to be told in two parts. His followers in North America where Butler is now based know that he is from South Africa but with little knowledge of his background. Those who appreciate his music locally know how he used his voice/guitar to escape the abject conditions around him. Although they know that he is big in the US, there is little knowledge of the many musical projects he involved in across the Atlantic. On the weekend of 02-03 April, Butler will appear at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival with two guests, trumpeter Rick Braun and saxophonist Richard Elliot. Since 2005, the three have performed together as members of a band known as Jazz Attack. As individual artists, all three unquestionably belong to the premier smooth jazz league. Butler has won Grammy nominations twice for his African-brewed vocalising and guitar playing. Both Braun and Elliot are leading innovative smooth jazz artists. Having them in Cape Town will be an opportunity to see their skill and will help to square the Jonathan Butler story as local audiences will have first hand experience of what the vocalist/guitarist does in the US.

My poor neglected Adrian & Ally (Adrian has a broken foot, and Ally needs rewigging). I think they should be siblings. They have some friends coming in the mail soon... ^^;

I found these three graves with concrete slabs, silk lilies, and incredibly simple markers (stamped simply "BUTLER CHILD" in the cemetery behind Zion Hope Baptist Church -- an African American church in Helena, Georgia. I searched the internet in vain for some insight as to what calamity must have struck this family.
The Bumper Car remain one of the most popular ride at the Butler County Fair where rides start each day at 1 P.M. and admission is $6 for adults and $1 for kids 6-12. July 27, 2011 The Enquirer/ Tony Jones
This was taken with a 62 mm B + W 403 filter which I attached to my Tamron 18-200mm lens. The camera was a Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D. Captured in RAW, processed in Adobe Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop.
This image is a mixture of visible light, infrared and ultraviolet light. I like that the final result is very much like Kodak EIR.
Taken at Butler County Community College (BC3) main campus, in Butler, PA.
