Description

This history presents Orangeburg County, South Carolina, from its early beginnings through the Revolutionary War. It reveals the settlers' struggles to set county boundaries, build churches and roads, and participate in the 1790 convention to establish the constitution for the state.

The book's first chapter traces the settlement of each region within the county, and discusses the important contributions of German and Swiss colonists. A variety of county records appear, such as an account of the first settlement made by a white person, in 1704, at what is now called Lyons Creek.

Closing the book, the text's thorough military history presents listings from rosters and order books, transcripts of military orders, and accounts of expeditions and battles which date from 1682 to 1781.
