i A GUIDE TO THE PALl\¤IETTO STATE
_¢ , Sovrn CAno1.ixA, the Palmetto State, part of the
__ T great ‘Carolana’ Grant of 1629, and one of the thir-
t F teen original States, is described, with all its con- ‘
f tradictions and its charms, its present-day prob-
lems, its early gaiety and its sorrow, in this volume
of the American Guide Series. The Up Country
l and the Low Country and the more recently devel-
V A oped central section around Columbia, the capital
. city—each of these diverse regions is interpreted in
e ‘ i the light of its history, its people, white and Negro,
i its folklore, and its industrial and cultural develop-
3. ment; the Low Country’s ‘marshes, dunes, and
. cypress-shadowed swamps . . . its old houses and
magnolia gardens . . . and the soft gray glory of
- Spanish moss', the Up Country, with its Scotch-
A M Irish farmers, its industry, and its battlefields,
Kings’ Mountain and Cow-pens. Among its cities
V Old Beaufort, aristocratic Charleston, Greenville,
1 T Rock Hill, and many other towns and hamlets of T
the State are given their due appreciation.

Andrew jackson, Moses Lindo, ‘Pitchfork Ben’ `

IN preparing, South Carolina, A Guide to the Palmetto State, we W   p
hoped to present the subject as a well-rounded whole for two  
groups of people; South Carolinians who want to know more of their l
State and others who want to know the whys and wherefores about    
us. The task has been tremendous, because so many interesting facts    
have been discovered; and condensation has not been the least of our jp  
labors. There was the disagreement of historians as to fact, and the All
argument between fact and fancy. Yet, on the whole, the work has fly
been fascinating and most informative. To get the scent of a good story lil
and trail it for months in and out of libraries, old newspaper files, l
private papers, and finally to catch it by the tail has been an adven- .
ture multiplied hundreds of times.
‘South Carolina is the least written about and the least understood i .
of all the States that have played an important part in our history,’ l T
asserted a Northern historian. Through this Guide, we hope to allay   _
some of this criticism, though we realize how briefly one small volume  
can cover the 400 years of activity and development. We hope the   `
book is balanced—not too much of solemn fact, not too much of obvi- ll {
ous tradition, not too much description, not too many dates. , j
C Besides the members of our project, many persons whose love of l    
South Carolina prompted them to give of their time and learning have p ·l ’
helped toward the completion of our Guide. lp pj  
Co-operation of numerous organizations has also encouraged our   *p ,
. work and we express our thanks to Federal and State departments,    
civic bodies, libraries, chambers of commerce, patriotic clubs, and     i
newspapers. Without such outside aid we should have had little con- ‘ ji p
· fidence in our success. Grateful acknowledgment is extended to all who t    
, had a part in supplying information. In the Appendices is a list of the    
many specialists who assisted, and also a list of the 1940 census figures. jp Q e
