In the Midlands on the University of South Carolina campus, Dr. Allen H. Stokes and those who work with him at the South Caroliniana Library afforded me every courtesy and provided a hospitable and scholarly environment. As he has done for so many other research efforts, Allen rescued parts of this project that might have been excluded for lack of material. Much indebtedness goes to Thelma Hayes of the Books Division for her direction, help, and good cheer during the long days when I requested yet another book, and to Dan Boice, formerly of the Caroliniana, for his ability to find sources I thought were lost.

The more we can understand the history of the cultural perceptions of the South Carolina landscape that we interact with everyday, the more we can appreciate that environment as both part of us and apart from us.

A hope is that in reading this anthology the reader see something of herself and her interaction with this local landscape, South Carolina, as carefully and energetically as the following authors do.
