Twenty-one governors of South Carolina, Tillman to Byrnes, Including Both. A Related Tragedy, and Other Matters

88 pages: photographs: 23cm.

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.
