From the introduction: "This study was undertaken to provide the Catawba people with a better record and understanding of the cultural activities that were carried out in the Old Reservation Cemetery."

From the abstract: "This research is a continuation of "The Archaeological Survey of the Catawba Indian Reservation" (Kenion and May 1997)... The first objective was to define and map the physical boundaries of the cemetery, as well as the pattern of burials within the cemetery boundaries. The second goal of the project was to correlate as many individual burials as possible with historical tribal members, identifying those interred in unmarked graves or those marked with natural, non-inscribed rock... Finally, the project set about to define connections between the oldest known mortuary traditions of the Catawba and those customs used in this historic burial ground."

From the introduction: "It is the purpose of the biographical sketches of the last twenty-one Governors of South Carolina appearing herewith in sequence to furnish the reader with information concerning each of the Governors which does not seem to be available elsewhere. Not all the history books of the State come down the line in chronological order with a list of the Governors for the last sixty-three years and with a sketch and picture of each. It was the good fortune of the author to know personally each of the twenty-one Governors, with the exception of the late W. H. Ellerbe, who served the State in the late 1890's. Little data were available to assist in preparing the sketches-they were written largely from memory. Nevertheless, it is hoped and believed that the sketches are reasonably accurate. No thought was entertained of making the sketches so comprehensive as to furnish a detailed account of the many public activities of the various Governors. That would require endless research into the proceedings of the General Assembly for the last three score years and a stupendous amount of work otherwise, which, at best, could not be recommended as wholly reliable.
