Jim and Bec in Charleston

Jim Byous writes about travel and history with a Southeastern perspective. In his life, he has been a cowboy, a construction worker, a fireman, a janitor, a journalist and photojournalist and now a historian/traveler. “I’ve had many jobs and done many things,” he says. “But, I’ve always had a passion for history.” An expert in the history of Savannah, Georgia, he tends to write “a bit more on that topic.” However, he loves to travel and tell others about what he and Becky have seen, “through the eyes of an old guy.”
Rebecca Harrison Byous, aka Becky, aka The Beckster, is much younger and is a native of Georgia who was raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A writer and photographer she founded Weddings for Warriors, Inc., an organization of citizen volunteers who provide free weddings and vow renewals to active duty military. She shares Jim’s love of history and finding interesting stories to tell.
