An Excellent New Work

This book is an excellent continuation of the Tricentennial series on the colonial beginnings of South Carolina.

The author has liberally supplied the book with statistical tables to allow the reader to easily comprehend the points that he is making about the evolution of economic conditions of pre-1750 South Carolina.
