Not your father's history book,
By
This review is from: The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina: 1514-1861 (Hardcover)
A wonderful account of the history of one of the most important counties in South Carolina. An easy read, reads almost like a novel, but well detailed and extremely well researched. The best book of it's kind.No matter what era or subject it is very well covered here. Tells not only the story of this small coastal county but tells the real story of the founding of this nation and the triumphs and hardships of the founding fathers. Not afraid to point out the excesses good and bad of it's inhabitants this book is a must read for the serious reader as well as a casual reference. Not many books can say that. This book just made me want more!

History of Beaufort County,
By
This review is from: The History of Beaufort County, South Carolina: 1514-1861 (Hardcover)
I was expecting a droll history of Beaufort County and was pleasantly surprised by a very thorough and engaging account spanning three centuries. A must read for those wanting a strong foundation from which to view current events in coastal South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Looking forward to 1861 and beyond.
