- The second volume of the History of Beaufort County is entitled Rebellion, Reconstruction, and Redemption. It covers the political and military history of Beaufort County, 1861 - 1893. Registration is required to attend the Sept. 17th presentation and book signing with Dr. Larry Rowland and Dr. Steve Wise. Call us 843-255-6468 or e-mail gracec@bcgov.net to register.
