First drafted as a novel called Oyster Point when the author was
only eighteen, The Cassique of Kiawah was finally published
thirty-five years later, in 1859, at the height of William Gilmore
Simms' career. It is a history through fiction of early Charleston,
South Carolina, and completed Simms' series of Revolutionary War
novels. Through satire and realism he portrays the charm and the
corruption of late seventeenth-century Charleston society, and he
contrasts the quiet majesty of the wilderness with the violence of
man. The book was widely reviewed and highly praised, and it
confirmed Simms' position as the nation's best-known novelist.
