Description

Located near the Palmetto State’s historic city of Beaufort, the United States Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, South Carolina is one of the world’s most famous military bases. Having trained Marine recruits since World War I, the base is the oldest major post of the Marine Corps. It is also the first base commissioned exclusively to train United States Marines, and therefore may truly be called “The Cradle of the Corps.” Parris Island takes the reader on a visual journey through documented photographs that highlight the base’s touchstones. Before the American Revolution, the island was partially owned by Col. Alexander Parris, who became the island’s namesake. Plantations flourished on Parris Island until the end of the War between the States. A small detachment of Marines first arrived in the late 1800s. It was not until 1915, however, that the Marines arrived for good. Since then, the base has rapidly expanded, first during World War I and more so during World War II. Over the years, much of the physical appearance of the base has changed; yet, through this collection of photographs, former Parris Island Marines will have a chance to relive some of their memories while new recruits can watch the progression of their base unfold.
