Clay sits quietly on the west bank of the St. Johns River.
Compared with neighbors Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Clay
attracts relatively little attention, and its stories often go untold.
In 2013, members of Clay County Writers were
challenged to collaborate on an anthology. More than a dozen
local writers set out to explore people, communities, and events
that shaped the character of this area. Drawing on historical
documents, interviews, and other materials, each writer unearthed
a fresh point of view. Residents responded generously, sharing
memories, contacts, and other resources.
Organized in roughly chronological order, these stories
span the early 1800s to the present. They offer glimpses of the
challenges, conflicts, and commitments of a diverse group of
people—people who made a difference in Clay and in the world.
Though the stories belong to the individual writers, in all
ways, this anthology has been a community effort.
“These stories about Clay inhabitants captivate and lure
one in. I wanted to see, feel, taste, and touch through these local
heroes. The authors imbued the work with dialect, empathy,
history, and humor. Not living in Florida, I enjoyed looking up
each locale on a map to further dip into the legacy of Clay.”
Shonnie Brown, M.A., writer, editor, visual artist, Healdsburg, California
“Ever heard of the ‘Water Dogs’ of Black Creek? Martha
Chalker of Middleburg? Or Augusta Fells Savage of Green Cove
Springs? How about Bokar of the Monkey Farm? Or Frank
Towers in Camp Blanding? These and other unique characters
leap from the pages of Embedded in Clay to hint at horizons of
history in northeast Florida. Some remained in Clay County their
entire lives; some traveled worldwide. All are worthy of our
glances into the past. As you read, you see the creek, soak in its
darkness, or revel in its neighbors’ triumphs. Find a deeper
appreciation of this place as you learn more about its individuals.
The stories bring delight and joy to readers.”
Bobbi McDermott, engineer and former Orange Park
High School physics and chemistry teacher
“As a Clay County resident for over three decades, I’d
grown immune to its natural beauty, quirky characters, and
unique history. Embedded in Clay transported me to the dark
waters of Black Creek. I marveled at the history of artist Augusta
Savage and the beauty of her works, and I enjoyed the story of
the chimpanzees at the Monkey Farm.”
Ron Word, retired wire service correspondent
“When brought face to face with [the train], Frank
Towers seized the moment in history and became a messenger of
providence and sustenance to the desperately sick Jews. Long
after the war, he continued to reunite veterans and Holocaust
survivors around the world to tell their stories. As American
Jews, we felt touched by his compassion and regret we didn’t
meet him.”
Gary and Penina Weltman, Jacksonville, Florida
“These stories taught me a great deal about where I grew
up, yet knew little about. Born and raised in Jacksonville, my dad
and I went fishing on Black Creek, one of his favorite places. I
loved the story and could see that dark water and feel the cool
mud on my feet. What strong pictures it paints of life long ago.”
Linda M. Ashley, LMSW, Winthrop University,
Social Work Department, retired
“The story about Martha Chalker was lyrical and
informative. Paula Hilton's story about Augusta Fells Savage was
inspirational! I knew Savage was an artist of the Harlem
Renaissance, but had no idea about her rough family life or her
interesting academic background. Learning she grew up in Green
Cove Springs makes me proud to call Clay County home. Tim
Gilmore's article about the monkey farm in Orange Park was so
intriguing! I will never pass by The Granary without thinking
about the Humanzee.”
Beverly Kay Suits, English teacher

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
