Intimate glimpses into the daily life of a South Carolina family
Reprinted here for the first time in more than forty years is Rice
Planter and Sportsman: The Recollections of J. Motte Alston,
1821-1909. This lively memoir offers a candid look into the daily
life of a Low Country South Carolina family, as well as commentary
and opinion about such matters as rice cultivation, slavery, and
the sporting life. J. Motte Alston's memoirs, originally numbering
more than five hundred pages, were never intended for official
publication. Alston wrote for his grandson, who was fascinated by
his family's personal history and how it fit into the larger
context of South Carolina and the southern region. For the Alstons,
family was more than a domestic affair. It was also a powerful
economic consortium. The buying or selling of land and the building
or leasing of houses; the management of each detail of the rice
crop; the decision to marry, to have children, or to summer in the
mountains--all were more than private or economic decisions. Alston
included such details to help his grandson navigate the often tense
waters of family affairs. Rice Planter and Sportsman also offers an
entertaining look at the sport of the day. Much of the land on
which Alston hunted with such success is now in privately owned
game preserves, running from the rivers to the coast. Alston also
included many details on the abundance of fish and game throughout
the South Carolina Low Country and Blue Ridge Mountains. Franklin
Burroughs' evocative and warm personal memoir conveys the story of
the Alstons and places this memoir firmly in its broader historical
context.
