Department of Archives and History. It is the opinion of the SHPO that the properties meet the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. These determinations are based on the present architectural integrity and available historical information for the properties included in the survey area. Properties may be removed from or added to this list if changes are made that affect a property's physical integrity. Historical information that is brought to the attention of the National Register Coordinator/Architectural Historian confirming or denying a property's historic significance may also affect a property's eligibility status. The process of identifying and evaluating historic properties is never complete; therefore, the SHPO encourages readers of this report to alert the National Register Coordinator to properties that may have been overlooked during this evaluation. National Register determinations of eligibility were made during and following a site visit to Kershaw County on August 8, 2002, by SHPO staff Andrew W. Chandler and Bradley S. Sauls, and in consultation with New South Associates. INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES and COMPLEXES The following properties have been determined individually eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places: Site No. Historic Name Criteria 1211 Smyrl House A-Agriculture; C-Architecture 1251 Liberty Hill Community Center A-Community History; C-Architecture 1263-1266 Wateree Dam and Power Plant C-Engineering 1411 Plane Hill A-Social History; C-Architecture 1585 Boykin Tombfield Cemetery A -Funerary 1715-1717 Southern Aviation School Hangars A -Transportation; C-Design S.

September 30, 2002 Acknowledgements A survey of the history and architecture of a county as large as Kershaw would not have been possible without the assistance of numerous individuals. The citizens of the county, as well as the officials who endorsed and funded the project, deserve a debt of gratitude. Rollin Reynolds, Director of Planning and Zoning, was our local coordinator and liaison with residents who had questions or concerns about the survey. He also provided tax maps and county road maps, and his assistance is greatly appreciated. Members of the Kershaw County Historical Society have also been closely involved in planning and coordinating the project, as well as steering us toward valuable sources of information and setting up meetings with small local groups. Historical Society members who assisted include the current president Charles Baxley, Frank K. Babbitt, Jr., William Davie Beard, Mary Cunningham, Glen and Joan Inabinet and Louise Steffens. In addition, this organization has assembled a number of historical publications that greatly informed our work. The Inabinets were particularly gracious, sharing their knowledge from their research. Employees of the Camden Archives, especially the director, Agnes Corbett, graciously helped with the historical research efforts. Many private individuals gave us tours of their properties, or special access to certain locations, or provided other historical information. These include Dr. H. Gaffney Blaylock, Dr. John W. Bonner, Alice Boykin, Margaret Truesdale Brinson, Mrs. J. Clyburn, Di DuBose, Ed Estridge, W. W. Hawkins of Woodward Field, Adele Kelly, Carroll Jones, Esther McCaskill, Larry McCollum, Charles McGuirt, Lula Goff Miles, Bebe Myers, Herman Newman, Beverly Sheorn, Lynette Miles Smith, Bill Tolbert, Patsy Watson, employees of Duke Energy at Wateree Dam, Camden Military Academy, and many others too numerous to mention. Dan Vivian and Brad Sauls of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Columbia, South Carolina, gave valuable guidance and technical assistance. We would also like to thank Janie Erickson of A Camden Bed and Breakfast for providing the surveyors with cheerful and comfortable accommodations for all the weeks we were away from our homes. i Contents Acknowledgements i List of Figures iii List of Tables iii 1.

    Chapter 2 CULTURE HISTORICAL CONTEXT the 2010 Investigations at the Ashe Ferry Site Focused on Archaeological Components That Date to the Late Woodland (Ca

    Chapter 2 CULTURE HISTORICAL CONTEXT The 2010 investigations at the Ashe Ferry site focused on archaeological components that date to the Late Woodland (ca. A.D. 800–1150) and Mississippian (ca. A.D. 1150–1540) periods, and the vast majority of contexts and assemblages documented at Ashe Ferry are attributable to these components, with the exceptions of one Middle Woodland period feature (a single cached vessel) and two Late Archaic period caches. Radiocarbon assays of samples from discrete contexts at Ashe Ferry indicate a primary span of occupation ca. A.D. 950–1150, with continued or sporadic lower intensity occupation through ca. A.D. 1325. Test units and extensive mechanical stripping of flood overburden and plowzone from the site also yielded collections that included small numbers of Early, Middle, and Late Archaic projectile points, as well as a few diagnostic Middle Woodland period pottery sherds. The following discussion specifically contextualizes the investigations of Late Woodland period and Mississippian period components at the Ashe Ferry site with an overview of the current state of knowledge concerning these archaeological periods in the central Carolina piedmont, with broader reference to this span in the surrounding region. Early Woodland Period The inception of the Woodland period (ca. 3000–1000 B.P.) in the Carolina piedmont is defined by the widespread, ubiquitous use of pottery by human populations who pursued transhumant or semi-transhumant hunter-gatherer strategies refined throughout the preceding Archaic period. This threshold is clearly arbitrary inasmuch as pottery production was commonplace among Late Archaic period societies in the South Carolina coastal plain and along the fall line after 4500 B.P.

    GEOARCHAEOLOGY OF AN ERODED MISSISSIPPIAN MOUND: THE BELMONT NECK SITE (38KE6), WATEREE RIVER VALLEY, SOUTH CAROLINA by HEATHER D. BARTLEY (Under the Direction of DAVID S. LEIGH) ABSTRACT The Belmont Neck site (38KE6) is a small, early Mississippian period platform mound and village site in the Wateree Valley, Kershaw County, South Carolina. The objectives were the following: (1) to determine geomorphology in the study area; (2) to determine the sources of mound fills; and (3) to determine the nature and extent of site formation processes. The objectives were carried out with methodology involving geomorphology, pedology, stratigraphy, and soil micromorphology. Results include the following. Micromorphology can be quite successful for detecting redistributed material from a destroyed mound or other earthwork, and the resulting data is useful for finding the maximum original possible size of a mound. The mound’s maximum original height was 2 m high. The existence of a thin redistributed mound layer, at least 49 m in diameter, was confirmed with micromorphology. The main cause of erosion/destruction/height reduction of the mound is interpreted to be tillage erosion.

    Water Use Rights in the Eastern United States by Jefrey A

    One Glass for Two People: A Case of Water Use Rights in the Eastern United States by Jefrey A. Steinmetz, Department of Biology, Francis Marion University Reed M. Perkins, Department of Environmental Science, Queens University of Charlotte Background on Water Use Rights In the United States, the issue of water use rights is typically considered a matter for western states. For decades, Arizona, Nevada, California, and others have wrestled with conficts arising from multiple interest groups demanding access to a very limited (and unpredictable) amount of water. Legal and policy solutions in the west are typically rooted in a patchwork of centuries-old allocation rulings, most based on the principal “frst in time, f rst in right.” In other words, the f rst user to take the water also acquires the future right to that water. In contrast, the eastern United States, rich in rivers and lakes, is often considered to have plenty of water, and while not immune to water controversies, the region certainly has been less prone to them. As eastern urban populations have continued to grow, however, this has started to change. Without the history and legal precedent so common in the west, civic leaders have struggled to fnd bases for answers. To no one’s surprise, water debates challenge basic ideas of regional identity, economic fairness, and ecological ethics. T is case study focuses on the growing issue of water use rights in the southeastern United States. Te central question is who (if anyone) has a right to use the water in the Catawba-Wateree River.

    Vol. 2 No. 8 _____ ___________________________________ _ __ August 2005 THE BATTLE OF CAMDEN - new pastel by Pamela Patrick White – shows Patriot Gen. “Baron” Johannes DeKalb, leading his Maryland and Delaware Continentals in the hand-to-hand combat near the end of the early morning of August 16, 1780 at the Battle of Camden, near Gum Swamp. Baron de Kalb had been unhorsed and was fighting on foot, bleeding now from several wounds…Bullets, bayonets, and sabers had felled him. For an hour or more, this bare 600 fought off all attacks, charged with bayonet, re-formed, charged again, rallying about de Kalb’s vast figure as about a standard. Cornwallis called of much of the pursuit of the broken militia, and threw the bulk of his force on the stubborn Continentals. Then de Kalb was down, out of action at last with his eleventh wound of the day. Tarleton’s Legion charged again and the Delawares and the Marylanders were broken at last. Thus wrote William Allman at Hillsborough, North Carolina, on September 20, 1780. Allman, a soldier in Colonel Subblefields Regiment of Virginia Patriot Militia, was wounded at the Battle of Camden, taken prisoner, and managed to escape. Like many others from General Horatio Gates’ “grand army,” he rejoined his commander at Hillsborough after abandoning de Kalb and his men just north of Gum Swamp. In executing her newest work, “The Battle of Camden,” well-known historical artist Pamela Patrick White has captured the moment during the action when the British 33rd and 71st Regiments are charging with bayonets affixed de Kalb and the Continentals.

The disk shows the profile of an elephant, surrounded by the announcement that the "GREAT EASTERN MENAGERIE MUSEUM AVIARY CIRCUS AND BALLOON SHOW IS COMING." The Great Eastern Circus was only in operation from 1872 through 1874, under the direction of Andrew Haight, who was known as "Slippery Elm" Haight, due to his unsavory business practices. The Circus featured a young elephant named "Bismark" -- probably the very one shown on this medallion. In 1873 the Circus came to Florence, South Carolina, stopping for only two days -- October 18 and 19 -- on its round through the South. It is likely that this brass token was an advertisement for the circus. In this case it was saved, probably by the child of a tenant farmer, and worn as a constant reminder of Bismark, and a truly unusual event for the small, sleepy town of Florence.
