Photographs by Selden B. Hill Songs and Poems by William P. Baldwin
Abandoned farmhouses stand withered and empty among clumps of chinaberry trees in fields of broom straw throughout rural South Carolina. Leaning tobacco barns are all that remain of lucrative farm allotments gone up in smoke. Boarded up redbrick towns with rusted rails and broken-down cotton gins are silhouettes of another era. Clapboard general stores that provided families with all they needed are few and hard to find. This book of photos, poetry and song offers remarkable glimpses of fast-vanishing world. The haunting images and powerful verse featured are a unique celebration of The Unpainted South.

Upheaval in Charleston
Earthquake and Murder on the Eve of Jim Crow
Susan Millar Williams and Stephen G. Hoffius
On August 31, 1886, a massive earthquake centered near Charleston sent shock waves as far north as Maine, down into Florida, and west to the Mississippi River. Weaving together the emotionally charged stories of Confederate veterans and former slaves, McClellanville resident Susan Millar Williams and Charlestonian Stephen G. Hoffius portray a South where whites and blacks struggled to determine how they would coexist a generation after the end of the Civil War.
This is also the story of Francis Warrington Dawson, a British expatriate drawn to the South by the romance of the Confederacy. As editor of Charleston’s News and Courier, Dawson walked a lonely and dangerous path, risking his life and reputation to find common ground between the races. Hailed as a hero in the aftermath of the earthquake, Dawson was denounced by white supremacists and murdered less than three years after the disaster. His killer was acquitted after a sensational trial that unmasked a Charleston underworld of decadence and corruption.
