Perfectbound, 80 lb glossy stock, full color, perfect for old docs,
photos inside book. Eliza, A Blueblooded Southern Belle Who Became
a Pioneer Woman: The tombstone reads simply "Eliza, wife of Adam
Peck. Born March 12. 1792, Died July 23, 1874." The graveyard is
beautiful, peaceful, quiet, empty of any living person on most
days. Eliza's tombstone is found in the rolling hills of
southwestern Kentucky. The tombstone in that Kentucky graveyard
gives no hint of a blue-blooded southern belle born on a plantation
in the High Santee of South Carolina, Elizabeth Gayle, whose
grandfather Josiah signed, in July of 1775, the papers of the
Revolutionary Association of Public Defence, South Carolina,
pledging his life, fortune and sacred honor in the battle until the
dispute with Britain should end. The tombstone gives no hint Eliza
lived through the War of 1812, the Mexican War and the Civil War,
or that her life was full of suffering and loss, despite her
privileged birth. This is her story.
