(Southern - South Carolina) Patience Pennington. A Woman Rice Planter

Ed. by Cornelius O. Cathey. Illus. Jacket. First Edition Thus. Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard Univ. Press, 1961.

The rise and fall of South Carolina's rice industry before and after the Civil War is legendary. In 1903, Patience Pennington (Elizabeth Allston Pringle) tried to revive the industry by planting rice, and over four years in post-bellum South Carolina, tries to make rice pay. This is her story. A very good and bright copy.
