Remembering Dillon County, South Carolina by Carley Wiggins Pdf

Since he began writing articles for the Dillon Herald in 2003, Carley Wiggins has been telling the stories of Dillon County folks who made a difference but never made the headlines, such as James K. Braboy, the first Native American named Teacher of the Year in South Carolina, or Robert McRae, the area’s last taxi driver. Come along with Wiggins as he investigates the ruins of a long-forgotten resort on Reedy Creek and tromps off into the woods in search of the mysterious Bingham Light. Whether or not you remember Dillon’s short-lived semipro football team or ate at Hatch’s Lunch, Remembering Dillon County is full of true stories from the Pee Dee region that will inspire and entertain you.

Southern Cold Warrior by J. Edward Lee Pdf

For a quarter of a century, South Carolinian James P. Richards was a skillful bi-partisan legislator, standing on the front lines with Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, and his congressional colleagues to shape American Foreign Policy in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East during the Cold War. In 1957, Richards served as Eisenhower’s ambassador to the strategic Middle East, travelling 30,000 miles and visiting fifteen nations explaining the evils of “international communism.” Richards’ bi-partisanship and his experiences in the Middle East are of interest to America in the post-9/11 world.

Georgia Remembered: by Ann H. Stephens Pdf

Born in the last decade of the nineteenth century in rural Bladen County, North Carolina, Georgia was the typical child whose two great loves were being outdoors and spending time with her father. However, the presentation of her story is unique in that the first part is autobiographical in nature. She started writing what she called “a few things that happened in my life” on January 1, 1952, when she was 57 years old. Her childhood and early adulthood experiences reflect the customs of the times as she describes how her family survived floods, fire, illness and extreme weather conditions. On her first day of school, she really did walk two miles to the one-room schoolhouse. Since her father disapproved of her choice for a husband, at 17 she eloped to marry Judd Ezzell. She and the groom drove away in a horse and buggy to start a new life in neighboring Sampson County. Georgia always maintained that Judd was the love of her life, and 10 children later, they were still together.. The account of her later years is provided by four of her granddaughters. This phase of her life begins during the Great Depression, when events occurred that made recovery from the devastation of the depression very difficult. Th e family’s responses to life’s challenges make an interesting narrative that ranges from inspirational to religious to comical.

The Scottish World by Billy Kay Pdf

'Thaim wi a guid Scots tongue in their heid are fit tae gang ower the warld' In The Scottish World, renowned broadcaster Billy Kay takes us on a global journey of discovery, highlighting the extraordinary influence the Scots have had on communities and cultures on almost every continent. While others have questioned the self-confidence of the Scots, Kay has travelled the world from Bangkok to Brazil, Warsaw to Waikiki and found ringing endorsements for the integrity and intellect, the poetry and passion of the Scottish people in every country he has visited. He expands people's view of Scotland by relating remarkable stories of the wealthy Scottish merchant community in Gdansk; of national geniuses of Scots descent, such as Lermontov in Russia and Grieg in Norway; of an American Civil War blamed on Sir Walter Scott and initiated in the St Andrew's Society of Charleston; of inspirational missionaries in Calabar and Budapest; of Scotch professors establishing football in soccer strongholds such as Barcelona and São Paulo; of pioneers like Sandeman and Cockburn, and the Scottish roots of many of the great wines of Europe; and of their amazing involvement in liberation movements in Malawi, Chile, Peru, Greece, Corsica and India. The Scottish World is a celebration of the enormous contribution the Scots have made to the modern world.
