Excerpt from A History of the Upper Country of South Carolina, Vol. 1: From the Earliest Periods to the Close of the War of Independence
A few words will be sufficient to introduce to an indulgent public my first effort of literary labor. Em ployed, as I have been, ever since leaving my Alma Mater, in the arduous business of instructing youth, I felt, with many others of like employment, the want of a popular, well-written School History of South Carolina; one whose perspicuity combined with that simplicity of style, and lively detail of personal and local - history, so attractive to the young, would render it both useful and interesting to that important class of readers.
