(viii), iv, 364, viii, 373-396, illus., maps Upper South Carolinians who risked their lives and fortunes in the Revolutionary War faced neighbors who had remained loyal to the Crown and hostile Cherokee Indians.

Orig. pub. Philadelphia 1824. Reprinted 1975. Print on Demand Edition 2019. (vi), 511, xlvii pp. Henry Lee published this work in response to aspersions cast upon his father, "Light Horse" Harry Lee, by chroniclers of the American Revolution, in particular Justice William Johnson of South Carolina. Notwithstanding the son's obvious bias, the volume is a standard source for the history of the Revolution in the South. The author covers background events in the life of General Nathanael Greene, and stresses heavily the activities of Lee in South Carolina, at Guilford Court House, in overall relation to the Southern Strategy, at Augusta, at Eutaw Springs, and at John's Island. The Appendix contains correspondence between Washington, Greene, Lafayette, Lee, and others and is especially revealing as to the character of the officers involved and the concerns of some over the necessity of maintaining the public morale.

Logan, physician, educator, and newspaper editor of Abbeville, used official records and journals kept by traders and naturalists in this history of upper South Carolina from earliest times to 1760. The first half of the book is natural history, with much on the Indians. After this, he turns to early traders, hunters, and settlers. There are descriptions of the country, the natives, and the animals and then later developments after the arrival of the Europeans, with personal treatment of many individuals. Logan never published what was intended to be the second volume of his history. After publication of Volume I in 1859, the Civil War interrupted his concluding work. His notes, which were intended for Volume II, disappeared from his estate after his death. One biographical sketch says they were lost in a fire. Historian Lyman C. Draper had copied Logan's notes… Read More
