Book Synopsis South Carolina's Turkish People by : Terri Ann Ognibene
Download or read book South Carolina's Turkish People written by Terri Ann Ognibene and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of misunderstood immigrants and their struggle to gain recognition and acceptance in the rural South Despite its reputation as a melting pot of ethnicities and races, the United States has a well-documented history of immigrants who have struggled through isolation, segregation, discrimination, oppression, and assimilation. South Carolina is home to one such group—known historically and derisively as "the Turks"—which can trace its oral history back to Joseph Benenhaley, an Ottoman refugee from Old World conflict. According to its traditional narrative, Benenhaley served with Gen. Thomas Sumter in the Revolutionary War. His dark-hued descendants lived insular lives in rural Sumter County for the next two centuries, and only in recent decades have they enjoyed the full blessings of the American experience. Early scholars ignored the Turkish tale and labeled these people "tri-racial isolates" and later writers disparaged them as "so-called Turks." But members of the group persisted in claiming Turkish descent and living reclusively for generations. Now, in South Carolina's Turkish People, Terri Ann Ognibene and Glen Browder confirm the group's traditional narrative through exhaustive original research and oral interviews. In search of definitive documentation, Browder combed through a long list of primary sources, including historical reports, public records, and private papers. He also devised new evidence, such as a reconstruction of Turkish lineage of the 1800s through genealogical analysis and genetic testing. Ognibene, a descendant of the state's Turkish population, conducted personal interviews with her relatives who had been in the community since the 1900s. They talked at length and passionately about their cultural identity, their struggle for equal rights, and the mixed benefits of assimilation. Ognibene's and Browder's findings are clear. South Carolina's Turkish people finally know and can celebrate their heritage.

Book Synopsis A History of Kershaw County, South Carolina by : Joan A. Inabinet
Download or read book A History of Kershaw County, South Carolina written by Joan A. Inabinet and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Kershaw County is a much anticipated comprehensive narrative describing a South Carolina community rooted in strong local traditions. From prehistoric to present times, the history spans Native American dwellers (including Cofitachiqui mound builders), through the county's major roles in the American Revolution and Civil War, to the commercial and industrial innovations of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Joan and Glen Inabinet share insightful tales of the region's inhabitants through defining historical moments as well as transformative local changes in agriculture and industry, transportation and tourism, education and community development. Kershaw County is home to some of South Carolina's most notable prehistoric sites as well as the state's oldest inland city, Camden, thus giving the region an impressive and richly textured human history. Still the most familiar icon of the county is an early weathervane silhouette honoring the Catawba Indian chief King Hagler for protecting pioneer settlers. An important colonial milling and trading center, Camden was seized by the British under Lord Cornwallis during the American Revolution and fortified as their backcountry headquarters. Eight battles and skirmishes were fought within the modern boundaries of Kershaw County, including the Battle of Camden on August 16, 1780, and the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill on April 25, 1781. Named for Revolutionary War patriot Joseph Kershaw, the county was created in 1791 from portions of Claremont, Fairfield, Lancaster, and Richland counties. Kershaw County developed its local economy through plantation agriculture, an enterprise dependent on African slave labor. Distinctive homes were built on rural plantations and in Camden, and a village of well-to-do planters grew up at Liberty Hill. Six Confederate generals claimed the county as their birthplace, and the area also was home to Mary Boykin Chesnut, acclaimed diarist of the Civil War. In their descriptions of Kershaw County in modern times, the Inabinets chronicle how the railroad and later U.S. Highway 1 brought opportunities for the expansion of tourism and led to Camden's development as a popular winter resort for wealthy northerners. Small towns and villages emerged from railroad stops, including Bethune, Blaney (later Elgin), Boykin, Cassatt, Kershaw, Lugoff, and Westville. The influx of new money coupled with local equestrian traditions led to an enthusiasm for polo and the creation of the Carolina Cup steeplechase at the Springdale Course. Aside from early developments in textile manufacturing, industrialization proceeded slowly in Kershaw County. The completion of the Wateree Dam in 1919 gave the region a valuable source of electricity as well as much-needed flood control and a popular new recreational area in Lake Wateree. Despite these incentives for new industry, agricultural ways of life continued to dominate until World War II influenced advances in aviation, communication, and industrialization. In describing these changes, the Inabinets map the circumstances surrounding the building of the DuPont plant which opened in 1950 and the expansion of several other industries in the area. Through perceptive text and more than eighty images, this first book-length history of Kershaw County illustrates how the region is steeped in a rich history of more than two centuries of struggles and accomplishments in which preserving lessons of the past holds equal sway with welcoming opportunities for the future.
Book Synopsis A History of Marion County, South Carolina, from Its Earliest Times to the Present, 1901 by : W. W. Sellers
Download or read book A History of Marion County, South Carolina, from Its Earliest Times to the Present, 1901 written by W. W. Sellers and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history, first published in 1902, contains hundreds of pages of genealogy in addition to its historical coverage. Mr. Sellers begins his book with a history of the settlement of South Carolina, from its earliest existence in 1670. Once this general background has been established, he sets forth the history of Marion County. Beginning with a physical description, including boundaries, Mr. Sellers then proceeds to touch upon such areas of interest as educational, political and judicial history. Brief discussions of various towns of the county consist of such information as the year of establishment, physical description, economic make-up, and population. The most important aspect of any settlement is the citizenry, and it is this subject to which over 500 pages are dedicated. The bulk of these, over 400 pages, are dedicated to families of 130 distinct surnames who settled in Marion County. Marriages, children, specific area of settlement and other family relationships are common examples of what these descriptions provide. Following the examination of these specific families are lists of clerks of court; sheriffs; legislators; senators; judges; governors; and lawyers from the years 1800 to 1900. Volunteers in the Confederate Army are also listed, and organized according to specific companies and regiments. These entries generally include information regarding whether or not these soldiers survived the war, and if not, the location and date of death is often appended. A new surname index has been compiled to make this already valuable work more useful to the researcher and casual reader alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Record of Fort Sumter: From Its Occupation by Major Anderson, to Its Reduction by South Carolina Troops, During the Administration of Governor Pickens Early on the morning of the 27th of December, 1860, the smok ing ruins of Fort Moultrie, and the evident activity pervading Fort Sumter, gave evidence of the fact that Fort Moultrie had been deserted by the United States garrison, and that they had taken possession of Fort Sumter, as the key of the harbor of Charleston. The prompt orders instantly issued by Governor Pickens, that the South Carolina troops should take possession of Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie on the same day - the immediate capture of these forts in obedience to said orders - the hauling down of the stars and stripes for the first time in the history of our country the running up in their stead of the Palmetto banner - and the State of South Carolina thus defying the power of the United States - was the actual commencement of this great revolution.
