Georgetown and the Waccamaw Neck are steeped in historic and folkloric literature, reflective of the areaís rich cultural past. This volume brings that treasury to bear in a collection of vintage postcards from the region compiled for the first time. You will see how the areaís aristocratic past ties to present-day Georgetown and the nearby resorts of Pawleys Island and Murrells Inlet and the renowned Brookgreen Gardens. Also included are nostalgic views of life on plantations along the Santee Rivers, which relied upon Georgetown for economic trade, then and now. ÝÝThe communities depicted in this book were among Americaís wealthiest 150 years ago. That legacy is still seen in architectural remnantsóplantations, churches, and town houses now restored to their former grandeur.
