• W1969912957 abstract "BOOK REVIEWS69 Cameron, Lincoln's first Secretary of War, said Mrs. Lincoln was the victim of slander. Dr. Milton H. Shutes, author of Liiwolris Emotional Life, once wrote that Mary Todd was good for Abraham Lincoln. In her slim volume Mrs. Simmons agrees with both. Arnold Gates Garden City, New York The History of Georgetown County, South Carolina. By George C. Rogers, Jr. (Charleston: University of South Carolina Press, 1970. Pp. xvi, 565. $12.50.) All too often the writing of local history has been left to amateurs— who usually either compile useless data or spend much time in tracing family trees. This splendid volume by Professor Rogers, who teaches at the University of South Carolina, is a happy exception to the generalization . Recognizing that local history can reveal much about a people, thencustoms , habits and mores, Mr. Rogers proceeded with skill and scholarship to tell the story of Georgetown County from its beginnings to the present. And it is a story well worth telling. For Georgetown County— which in its heyday has been termed by some as perhaps the most aristocratic region in the nation—was a section where the myth and legend of the Old South actually existed. The society consisted mainly of a relatively few rich planters, living in plantation splendor, and drawing their wealth mainly from rice produced by thousands of Negro slaves. In 1840, for example, Georgetown produced almost one-half of the total rice crop of the nation. But then came economic disaster. In the years after 1865 the rice industry collapsed, for a variety of reasons. And in the twentieth century many of the former rice plantations were bought by wealthy northerners . And so, in the words of the author, In the years after 1900 the rich Yankees came to seek what their fathers had destroyed (p. 489). In short, this is a superb example of local history and what it might teach us about ourselves. Its only flaw—and this is minor—is the absence of a really good and clear map of the county. Martin Abbott Georgia College The Confederate Navy: A Study in Organization. By Tom H. Wells. ( University, Ala.: University of Alabama Press, 1971. Pp. ix, 182. $7.50. ) Even on the eve of the Revolutionary Bicentennial, it seems that the last volleys of the Civil War Centennial have yet to be fired. Each year new volumes are published exploring some aspect of that Great Rebellion and with greater frequency, these have come to be concerned with the opposing navies. ..." @default.
