Northern Money, Southern Land at HH Tues., Sept. 14th

In case you missed the fabulous session these editors did for us in the Paul Siegmund Room last September, here's another opportunity!

Editors Stephen Hoffius and Robert Cuthbert spent several years reading microfilmed newspaper backfiles studying the work of Chlotilde Martin, Beaufort based Charleston News and Courier newspaper columnist during the 1930s. A financially strapped young widow intent on providing for her family, she wrote more than 50 columns about land, economic and social transactions involving about 80 plantations in our area.

Please come to learn more about the history and property owners of Belfair, Honey Horn, and Palmetto Bluff among others.

Copies of Northern Money, Southern Land are available in the local history sections at our Branch Libraries, call number is 728.8579 MAR.

The editors will personalize your copy of their book after their presentation.
