Examination of the cultivation and use of gourds among Southeastern tribes.

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.

Excerpt from Narratives of the Career of Hernando De Soto, Vol. 1: In the Conquest of Florida as Told by a Knight of Elvas and in a Relation by Luys Hernandez De Biedma, Factor of the Expedition.

From the cover: "The De Soto expedition was the first major encounter of Europeans with North American Indians in the eastern half of the United States. De Soto and his army of over 600 men, including 200 cavalry, spent four years traveling through what is now Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. For anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians the surviving De Soto chronicles are valued for the unique ethnological information they contain. These documents, available here in a two volume set, are the only detailed eyewitness records of the most advanced native civilization in North America—the Mississippian culture—a culture that vanished in the wake of European contact."

1917 history of South Carolina. From the preface: "William Gilmore Simms, the editor's grandfather, wrote in 1840 for his children and for use in the schools "The History of South Carolina from Its First European Discovery to Its erection into a Republic." In 1860 the third edition of the history was published in which Simms brought the narrative down to that date. The editor offers in the present volume a revised and enlarged edition of the third edition of the work, intended primarily for use as a text book in the schools of South Carolina."
