Georgetown & the Waccamaw Neck (SC) (Postcard History Series)

Georgetown and the Waccamaw Neck are steeped in historic and folkloric literature, reflective of the area's rich cultural past. This volume brings that treasury to bear in a collection of vintage postcards from the region compiled for the first time. You will see how the area's aristocratic past ties to present-day Georgetown and the nearby resorts of Pawleys Island and Murrells Inlet and the renowned Brookgreen Gardens. Also included are nostalgic views of life on plantations along the Santee Rivers, which relied upon Georgetown for economic trade, then and now.The communities depicted in this book were among America's wealthiest 150 years ago. That legacy is still seen in architectural remnants-plantations, churches, and town houses now restored to their former grandeur.Susan Hoffer McMillan is the author of 'Georgetown & the Waccamaw Neck (SC) (Postcard History Series)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780738514970 and ISBN 0738514977.
