Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Legacy of David Rogerson Williams Three and one hundred years ago, four South Carolinians in the House of Representatives, Williams, Cheves, Lowndes, and Calhoun were called by the Richmond Enquirer "a splendid constellation of talents." One of the stars in the group, David Rogerson Williams, was a large planter in Darlington District. His life was begun March 8th, 1776, and having been nourished through the Revolution by his widowed mother and educated at Society Hill, Charleston, Wrentham and Providence, he developed into a pioneer manufacturer and scientific agriculturist, while at the same time, his superabounding energy and public spirit made him one of the foremost in educational, political and military affairs. It has been the aspiration of the following chapters to retrace the footsteps, often effaced by the ravages of time and of men, and to rehabilitate, in a measure, the splendid figure of a Southern gentleman, with an occasional searchlight thrown upon the times, manners, morals, customs and high ideals which have almost vanished out of American life, in order that the force of his example might perchance "bear fruitage in the present and still richer fruitage in the future," in our farms, our schools, our mills, our homes, our politics and in all our human relations.
