A storm in 1685 brought, in a wind-tossed brigantine seeking haven
in the port of Charles Town, the scant bushel of seed from
Madagascar which became the source of the famous Carolina Gold
rice. The story of rice growing from this period until 1911, when a
storm destroyed rice planting in South Carolina is told here by
one-time Governor Heyward who was a rice planter himself.
