Summary

A biography "of a native South Carolina industrialist, entrepreneur, agriculturist extraordinaire, and philanthropist who recognized the economic conflict [of the 19th century] half a century before it became irresistible, and tried to change its course through industrial diversity of the South and the building of railroads and commercial ties to the north and Mid-West."--review by Edward D. Sloan, Jr., found on the jacket
