Présentation de l'éditeur
Author was induced some years since, at the instance of the Cheraw Lyceum, to investigate the history of the Indian tribes formerly inhabiting the valley of the Pedee. In the course of his researches, some very interesting documentary matter connected with the first white settlers of this region was unexpectedly discovered, which led to renewed effort in that direction, and resulted in the collection from various sources of an amount of matter far beyond anything which the most sanguine hopes in the outset could have anticipated. This was the more gratifying, inasmuch as in the histories of the State and the published memoirs of some of the distinguished leaders of the Revolution, the region of the Upper Pedee, embraced within the limits of the Old Cheraw District, had literally found no place. It was far removed from Charles-town, as well as from the main routes of emigration, travel, and the Indian trade, all which tended to the west and north-westward, where the Cherokees held sway. None of the important battles of the Revolution were fought in this portion of Carolina, though it contributed largely to the number of those who took an active part in the strife. The operations of Marion were confined chiefly to the parts lower down on the river.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The author began this work as an investigation of ?the history of the Indian tribes formerly inhabiting the valley of Pedee.? However, he discovered a wealth of historical documents that rescued ?the noble deeds of those who had long since passed away, from oblivion.? As a result, the focus of this work expanded and became mainly a local history, but with ?a close and continuous connexion [connection] throughout with the history of the State at large?.especially in the period which immediately preceded the Revolution and during the progress of that eventful conflict.? This hefty volume provides detailed accounts of Indian tribes on the Pedee, the first settlement in the province and the establishment of counties, the dividing line between North and South Carolina, inducements to settlers in the province, the Welsh settlement, settlements lower down the river, Irish Protestants, Huguenots, stock raising, agriculture, culture, land grants, slavery, social life, religion, judicial history, the Parish of St. David, circuit courts, Judge Drayton, the last days of royalty in South Carolina, the Council of Safety, St. David?s Society, defense of Charlestown, General Green and Cornwallis, depredations of Tories (on Poke Swamp, Jeffrey?s, Black, and Lynche?s Creeks), county boundary lines, Ezra Pugh, Samuel Wilds, and much more. ?Where printed or documentary matter of permanent interest and value could be given in full as recorded, the object has been to present it literally in its original form, rather than in the language of the Author.? Numerous lists of names, transcripts of letters (and a variety of other original documents), and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this excellent work.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of the Pedee River Valley in South Carolina, a region often overlooked in broader historical narratives. The author meticulously pieces together the story of the area's early inhabitants, including the Cheraw, Pedee, and Catawba Indian tribes, shedding light on their origins, customs, and interactions with European settlers. Through meticulous research and the examination of primary sources, the author uncovers a vibrant tapestry of colonial life, trade, and conflict. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between Native American tribes and European colonists, as well as the significant role the Pedee region played in the Revolutionary War. This book offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of South Carolina's history, particularly the often-neglected stories of the upcountry and its indigenous peoples. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of a region and its people, whose contributions have shaped the state's cultural identity and historical trajectory.
