Description

In the first volume of The History of Beaufort County; South Carolina; three distinguished historians of the Palmetto State recount more than three centuries of Spanish and French exploration; English and Huguenot agriculture; and African slave labor as they trace the history of one of North America's oldest European settlements. From the sixteenth-century forays of the Spaniards to the invasion of Union forces in 1861; Lawrence S. Rowland; Alexander Moore; and George C. Rogers; Jr.; chronicle the settlement and development of the geographical region comprised of what is now Beaufort; Jasper; Hampton; and part of Allendale counties.The authors describe the ill-fated attempts of the Spanish and French to settle the Port Royal Sound area and the arrival of the British in 1663; which established the Beaufort District as the southern frontier of English North America. They tell of the region's bloody Indian Wars; participation in the American Revolution; and golden age of prosperity and influence following the introduction of Sea Island cotton.In charting the approach of civil war; Rowland; Moore; and Rogers relate Beaufort District's decisive role in the Nullification Crisis and in the cultivation; by some of the district's native sons; of South Carolina's secessionist movement. Of particular interest; they profile the local African American; or Gullah; population a community that has become well known for the retention of its African cultural and linguistic heritage.
