A frontier becomes a homeland. In this sweeping regional history chronicle, John Henry Logan traces the south carolina upcountry from its earliest periods to the close of the War of Independence, showing how the eighteenth-century carolina frontier hardened into the south carolina backcountry and, ultimately, a state within a new nation. River crossings, settlements, and shifting borders give the story its grit.Written as a historical nonfiction classic, Volume I brings together tradition and public record to map the making of communities in colonial south carolina and the era of american revolution south carolina, with the inland perspective often missing from coastal narratives of early american regional history. Logan’s work remains a touchstone in South Carolina historiography: an early, sustained attempt to name the Upper Country on its own terms, and to preserve the memory of people whose traces are otherwise scattered. Geography is never backdrop: valleys, ridges and waterways steer trade, defence and loyalty. The prose carries a nineteenth-century gravitas, yet the detail invites browsing - ideal for tracing surnames, locating communities, and understanding why conflict reached the interior. For casual readers, it reads as lived history; for researchers, it serves as a genealogy research reference and a dependable history reference edition for studying american revolutionary war history at ground level.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure, and a cornerstone for any complete local history collection.
