Book Synopsis Red Hills and Cotton by : Ben Robertson
Download or read book Red Hills and Cotton written by Ben Robertson and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Hills and Cotton is suffused with Ben Robertson's deep affection for his native Upcountry South Carolina. An internationally known and respected journalist, Robertson had a knack for finding the interesting and exotic in seemingly humble or ordinary folk and a keen eye for human interest stories. His power of description and disarmingly straightforward narrative were the hallmarks of his writing. A loyal Southern son, Robertson cherished what he judged to be the South's best traditions: personal independence and responsibility, the rejection of crass materialism, a deep piety, and a love of freedom. He repeatedly lamented the region's many shortcomings: poverty, racial hierarchy, political impotence, lack of inttellectual curiosity, and its tendency to blame all of its twentieth-century problems on the defeat of the Confederacy. An informative and entertaining new introduction by Lacy K. Ford, Jr., associate professor of history at the University of South Carolina, provides fascinating new facts about Robertson's life and recasts his achievements in Red Hills and Cotton as social commentary. Ford captures the essence of Robertson's restless and questioning, but unfailingly Southern, spirit.

Book Synopsis South Carolina in the Modern Age by : Walter B. Edgar
Download or read book South Carolina in the Modern Age written by Walter B. Edgar and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992, South Carolina in the Modern Age was the first history of contemporary South Carolina to appear in more than a quarter century and helped establish the reputation of the Palmetto State's premier historian, Walter Edgar, who had not yet begun the two landmark volumes—South Carolina: A History and The South Carolina Encyclopedia—that also bear his name. Available once again, this illustrated volume chronicles transformational events in South Carolina as the state emerged from the devastation that followed the Civil War and progressed through the challenges of the twentieth century. After the Civil War, South Carolina virtually disappeared from the national consciousness and became a historical backwater. But as the nation began to look to the twentieth century, South Carolina stirred once again. It took a world war, the U.S. Supreme Court, and strong-willed leadership to place South Carolina once more within the American mainstream. Edgar has divided this text into four essays, each covering a quarter century of South Carolina history. Each essay has a particular focus: South Carolina's hectic political scene (1891-1916); a period of economic stagnation during which the myths of the state's glorious past were honed and polished (1916-41); the impetus that World War II gave to economic development (1941-66); and social changes wrought by urbanization, industrial development, and desegregation (1966-91). South Carolina in the Modern Age also includes a chronology of state history and a list of suggested readings. More than seventy illustrations, many previously unpublished, add a visual dimension to the story.

Book Synopsis Peddlers, Merchants, and Manufacturers by : Diane Catherine Vecchio
Download or read book Peddlers, Merchants, and Manufacturers written by Diane Catherine Vecchio and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2024-01-04 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new perspective on Jewish history in the South Diane Catherine Vecchio examines the diverse economic experiences of Jews who settled in Upcountry (now called Upstate) South Carolina. Like other parts of the so-called New South, the Upcountry was a center of textile manufacturing and new business opportunities that drew entrepreneurial energy to the region. Working with a rich set of oral histories, memoirs, and traditional historical documents, Vecchio provides an important corrective to the history of manufacturing in South Carolina. She explores Jewish community development and describes how Jewish business leaders also became civic leaders and affected social, political, and cultural life. The Jewish community's impact on all facets of life across the Upcountry is vital to understanding the growth of today's Spartanburg–Greenville corridor.

Download or read book Tales from Seventeen-Mile Hill written by William Harvey Hunter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two decades Dr. William H. Hunter's Sunday column in the Anderson Independent-Mail both entertained and informed legions of readers. This is a selection of his writings, taken from his column and other sources, that shares reccollections and reflections on his life growing up in Depression-era upstate South Carolina, his days playing his way up through Clemson University on a football scholarship, his time as a World War II U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot with the VMF 214, the famous "Blacksheep Squadron," post-war medical school and beginning his practice in Clemson. His involvement in politcs beginning in the 1950s cast him together with some of the key figures of mid-to-late 20th century politcs, including Senator Strom Thurmond, Senator Barry Goldwater and President Richard Nixon. All the stories and reflections are told with the same plain speaking style and wry Southern wit that made Bill Hunter one of the star raconteurs of the Carolina upcountry and north Georgia.--from back cover.

Book Synopsis From Yeoman to Redneck in the South Carolina Upcountry, 1850-1915 by : Stephen A. West
Download or read book From Yeoman to Redneck in the South Carolina Upcountry, 1850-1915 written by Stephen A. West and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Yeoman to Redneck in the South Carolina Upcountry, Stephen A. West revises understandings of the American South by offering a new perspective on two iconic figures in the region's social landscape. "Yeoman," a term of praise for the small landowning farmer, was commonly used during the antebellum era but ultimately eclipsed by "redneck," an epithet that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. In popular use, each served less as a precise class label than as a means to celebrate or denigrate the moral and civic worth of broad groups of white men. Viewing these richly evocative figures as ideological inventions rather than sociological realities, West examines the divisions they obscured and the conflicts that gave them such force. The setting for this impressively detailed study is the Upper Piedmont of South Carolina, the sort of upcountry region typically associated with the white "plain folk." West shows how the yeoman ideal played a vital role in proslavery discourse before the Civil War but poorly captured the realities of life, with important implications for how historians understand the politics of slavery and the drive for secession. After the Civil War, the South Carolina upcountry was convulsed by the economic transformations and political conflicts out of which the redneck was born. West reinterprets key developments in the history of the New South--such as the politics of lynching and the phenomenon of the "Southern demagogue"--and uncovers the historical roots of a stereotype that continues to loom large in popular understandings of the American South. Drawing together periods and topics often treated separately, West combines economic, social, and political history in an original and compelling account.
