Summary

"All of the material in this volume, except census data, has been gleaned from the files of the Charleston News and Courier between 1880 and 1892. These contemporary sketches of South Carolina communities, compiled by various staff members as they traveled about the state, seem at first to have been secondary to other assignments, but by the close of the decade they had assumed greater significance....These sketches provide substantial insight into how people of this state were living a century ago and bring to life a decade often dismissed as colorless and of little consequence."--Preface
