From cooking ?coon and ?possum to recalling the heyday of Melrose
Plantation, these are the heartwarming stories of Hilton Head,
Bluffton and Daufuskie before, as the Gullahs might say, ?it all
change up.? In this second volume of personal memories collected by
Hilton Head journalist Fran Heyward Marscher, area old-timers tell
of the adventures, the industry and the heart of the Lowcountry
itself. Before the golf courses and resorts, the residents of
Beaufort and Jasper Counties often scraped to make a living, but
they left behind stories of enduring devotion and perseverance.
Keeping lighthouses on the coast, developing a method for catching
crabs with only sticks and hunting quail in Hilton Head are only a
few of the tales preserved by local old-timers from the early days
of the twentieth century to the times of economic transition after
World War II. In ice cream and butter beans, picking oysters and
exploring the beach, these memories of the Lowcountry will last for
generations.
