AASU Graduate Chronicles Thunderbolt History

Savannah, GA—October 17,2003—Savannah resident Luciana M. Spracher has published a new book, A History of Thunderbolt Georgia, which chronicles the history of Thunderbolt from the early colonial days, to the days when it was a fishing village, to its present-day status of a family community. The book was published in conjunction with the town’s 270th anniversary.

Spracher, a New York native, first came to Savannah to get a historic preservation degree from Savannah College of Art and Design. After she spent a few years as an intern for the National Trust for Historic Preservation, she came back to Savannah to obtain a master’s in public history at Armstrong Atlantic State University. Since then, she has started Bricks and Bones Historical Research, a business that does architectural and genealogical research. Spracher is the author of Lost Savannah, a collection of images that showcase architecture that is no longer in Savannah.
