A Woman Rice Planter

A Woman Rice Planter, by Elizabeth Waties Allston Pringle:

"It is about the South, a particular part of the South, the rice-plantation coast of South Carolina.  In this region, field and water and forest intermingle to form a strange, haunting scene, full of character and mystery.  To dine with a neighbor here, one needs both the horse and the boat; travel has to be amphibious.  And in this region, too, the marks that were made by the old days have been by the new days obliterated less than in most parts of our country."

The author bought her in-laws' plantation, Casa Bianca.  She then bought her family's Cherokee Plantation.
