And I'm Glad: An Oral History of Edisto Island explores the island's history through the eyes and in the voices of two Edisto farmers, Sam Gadsden and Bubberson Brown, who grew up, labored, raised families, and made their lives on the island. These narratives, tracing the arrival of the first black pioneers, the subsequent slave culture during the 1800s, the difficulties of Reconstruction, to the Edisto of the twentieth century, document both the African-American legacy of the island and the personal struggles of two black men. Overcoming the unpredictability of the Lowcountry's weather, such as the historic Hurricane of 1893 and subsequent storms, the hardships of Depression-era America, and the double standards of a pre-Civil Rights South, Gadsden and Brown detail triumphant lives full of service, hard work, good humor, and faith.

"Life Histories" were written about ordinary people from across the United States in the midst of the Great Depression by interviewers employed by the Federal Writers' Project (FWP), a part of the Works Projects Administration (WPA). The main objective of the WPA was to provide work for persons who were out of work --- the unemployed. The FWP provided work for writers and editors. A companion project, the Federal Arts Project (FAP), provided work for artists and for theater. The people interviewed in this book lived on Edisto Island, South Carolina, one of the Sea Islands on the Atlantic Coast about 35 miles southwest of Charleston. Chalmers S. Murray, a district supervisor, conducted all but one of the interviews. Chal was an experienced newspaper man who later became a respected novelist, journalist, and short story writer. The other interviewer, Margaret Wilkinson, was a middle aged, single mother of a teenaged son. Later, she was a case worker for the Social Security Administration. During World War II, she was a volunteer "spotter," searching the Charleston skies for enemy warplanes. After the war, she earned a private pilot's license. These life histories were written without the use of recording equipment. The interviewers took notes as people spoke and wrote the stories afterwards. Fictitious names were used for places and people. "Edisto" was called "Etiwan," for example. As a result, the stories are not true "oral histories" as the term is used today. Despite these shortcomings, the stories offer glimpses into what life was like on Edisto Island from 1860 to 1940.

This title from Charles Spencer recounts the history of Edisto Island from the Civil War to present day. The Civil War hit Edisto Island hard. Between the mandated evacuation, Union occupation and the eventual emancipation of the slaves, the cotton plantation economy that had sustained the island fell to ruin. But this phoenix was to rise from the ashes of war to become one of the premier destinations for fun and sun on the South Carolina coast. Charles Spencer, in his second volume of Edisto history, recounts the events of the Civil War, the struggles of Reconstruction, the effects of the new freedman class and the island's rebirth as a favorite vacation spot and modern community in the twentieth century. Each chapter offers an enjoyable excursion into the past and a detailed look at the remarkable history of Edisto.

Nell S. Graydon’s first book, Tales of Edisto, was first published in 1955—14 years after the author’s love affair with her second home at Edisto Island began. Her daughter Virginia recalled that a stay there always included daily trips to the post office, especially during the war years when sharing news was of utmost importance. It was there that the summer colony met and mingled with the natives, and it was in the mundane setting of the post office that the tales of Edisto first reached Nell Graydon’s ears. She wrote many years later: ‘The stories are not new they have been told many times. The tales fascinated me, and I often wondered why someone had not compiled them in book form....’ The historical context of Tales of Edisto includes elements of glamour that will appeal to almost any reader; certainly the 19th century sea island cotton plantations with their ‘elegant homes, avenues of magnolias, orange blossoms, beautiful women, and gentleman planters with their mint juleps’ were the stuff of which romance is made. Beautifully illustrated throughout by engineer-photographer Carl Julien of Greenwood, South Carolina.

"Life Histories" were written about ordinary people from across the United States in the midst of the Great Depression by interviewers working for the Federal Writers' Project (FWP), a part of the Works Projects Administration (WPA). The interviews were conducted between 1936, when the FWP was created, and 1940. The main objective of the WPA was to provide work for persons who were out of work --- unemployed. The FWP provided work for writers and editors. A companion project, the Federal Arts Project (FAP), provided work for artists and for theater. The people interviewed in this book lived on Edisto Island, S. C., one of the Sea Islands on the Atlantic Coast about 35 miles southwest of Charleston. Chalmers S. Murray, a District Director, conducted all but one of the interviews. Chal was an experienced newspaper man who later became a respected novelist, journalist, and short story writer. The other interviewer, Margaret Wilkinson, was a spunky, middle aged, single mother of a teenaged son. Later, she was a case worker for the Social Security Administration. During World War II, she was a volunteer "spotter", searching the Charleston skies for enemy warplanes. After the war, she earned a private pilot's license. These life histories were written without the use of recording equipment. The interviewers took notes as people spoke and wrote the stories afterwards. Fictitious names were used for places and people. "Etiwan" usually was substituted for "Edisto". As a result, the stories are not true "oral histories" as the term is used today. Despite their shortcomings as recorded history, these stories offer glimpses into what life was like on Edisto Island from 1860 to 1940.

Wild Eden to Cotton Aristocracy is an impeccably researched and superbly written must-read for all whose hearts call Edisto home. Beautiful Edisto Island has not always been a vacationers' haven in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Before European settlement, it was home to the Edisto Indians, who had seasonal fishing camps in the area, and a wide variety of wildlife. By the beginning of the Civil War, the wealthy planters had largely abandoned the area. What happened between those two periods is a must-read for fans of coastal South Carolina. Author Charles Spencer chronicles Edisto's history, from the early days when English and Scottish planters and their African slaves settled the lush island paradise and established plantations that flourished until the Civil War.
