About the author

Barry Sheehy

9 books3 followers
Barry Sheehy is the author or contributing author of several books, including the celebrated Savannah Immortal City and over fifty published papers and articles. His writings have appeared in anthologies alongside of those of Presidents Clinton and Bush, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan and business leaders such as Lou Gerstner, Jack Welch and Michael Dell. He holds degrees from Loyola and McGill Universities.


Mr. Sheehy’s lifelong passion for history has continued since his early years as a decorated officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. His focus eventually turned to America’s most complete, surviving, antebellum southern city – Savannah, Georgia. After many years of exhaustive research, Sheehy began the task of developing the four-volume Civil War Savannah series in 2005. With rigorous cross-checking from both previously published works and newly discovered original materials, Sheehy has written the most extensive historical study of Civil War Savannah ever undertaken. Now, just in time for the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War, the first volume, Savannah Immortal City, was published in February 2011, and the second, Brokers, Bankers, and Bay Lane: Inside the Savannah Slave Trade, is scheduled for publication in the spring of 2011.
