Rebellion, Reconstruction and Beyond Michael J Heitzler

Goose Creek mayor Michael Heitzler continues his engrossing study of this often-overlooked community of the South Carolina Lowcountry. Heitzler's second volume employs hundreds of never before used primary sources such as private journals, tenant farmer rosters and hunting club records to reveal the lives of the white landowners who controlled the forests and fields and the African Americans who lived virtually invisible as they endured on small farms.
