A Low Country History of South Carolina, February 13, 2000
This review is from: Abigail's Story Tides at the Doorstep: The Mackays, Laroches, Jenkinses, and Chisolms of Low Country, South Carolina, 1671-1897 (Hardcover)
A great review of South Carolina Low Country history through the trials and tribulations of some of its founding families. A great find for historians of the Low Country. All kinds of primary source documents and personal information of South Carolina residents over a three hundred year time span. Plantation owners, battles, sea captains, soldiers, generals, rebels, loyalists, colonists, farmers, doctors, disease, family squabbles, slaves, cities and towns are brought to life through the words of people who were actually there. Geography, climate, agriculture, economy, politics, it's all here. A gold mine for geneologists. Histories traced back to the kings and queens of England. Well indexed and referenced. A gem!
