LOW QUANTITY
This book examines the economic rise and fall of one small, but intriguing part of the American South, the low country of South Carolina. The author focuses on an area containing only about 13,000 square miles. He tried to keep in mind the broader forces that affected the area's development. The manner in which so-called internal and external forces interacted that makes the history of this particular area so compelling.
The process by which such forces interact to effect the low country's rise and fall was protracted one and to treat of it adequately demands a considerable time frame. Thus, this study spans approximately two hundred fifty years. The study, moreover, seeks to span space as well, to bridge, as it were, the large, if somewhat artificial gap between town and country in the low country.
