  • Raising the Revolutionaries' Banner 1775-1776
    Vol. 4 No. 3_____________________________________________ __July-August-September 2007 Raising the Revolutionaries’ Banner 1775-1776 19th century magic lanternslide depicting SC Patriot Sgt. William Jasper of the 2d South Carolina Continental Line, commanded by Col. William Moultrie, heroically re-raising the battered South Carolina standard over the parapet of the sand and palmetto log Fort Sullivan during the British naval bombardment of June 28-29, 1776. Mike Coker, the South Carolina Historical Society’s image expert, reports that this image is from a lanternslide painted by artists at the C. W. Briggs Company. The title on the slide is: “Sergeant Jasper at Ft. Moultrie, 1776”; it is a transparency, collodion on glass; size 3 1/4 X 4 inches. The Briggs were an American family of lanternists, slide painters and manufacturers. Daniel Briggs started painting and selling slides in 1850. Later the firm became C. (Caspear) W. Briggs and Co. in Philadelphia. Slides were made from stock negatives and colored by hand. (1850-1930s) This slide’s artist is unknown. Image is courtesy of the SCII Regiment. Artist Lucy Brown made a painting of this image in 1975, the original of which hangs in the main offices of the South Carolina Forestry Commission, 5500 Broad River Road, Columbia.

Stock#: 73251 Map Maker: Mouzon Date: 1775 Place: London Color: Outline Color Condition: VG+ Size: 57 x 40.5 inches Price: SOLD Description: First state of Henry Mouzon's landmark 4-sheet map of the Carolinas, the primary source for the geographical details of the Carolinas for the American, English and French armies during the American Revolution. Mouzon's map was unquestionably the most important general map of the period. The map was utilized by three of the most important commanders of the American Revolution. George Washington's copy, folded and mounted on cloth, resides in the collections of The American Geographical Society. The French commander, the Comte de Rochambeau's copy belongs to the collections of the Library of Congress. British commander, Sir Henry Clinton's copy is held in the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan. Published just five weeks after the Battle of Lexington and Concord, Mouzon's map is the best for the Carolinas at the beginning of the American Revolution. It was used by both armies as a reference for strategic planning. George Washington apparently owned two copies, now at Yale and the American Geographical Society respectively; General Rochambeau's is at the Library of Congress; and Sir Henry Clinton's at the Clements Library (Schecter and Lester).

Overall, both documents appear to be comprehensive and include consideration of all relevant topics. However, we would suggest that the work for the Hydro Structures Eligibility Assessment be consistent with South Carolina's architectural investigation guidelines, rather than those for archaeological investigations. Although there are currently no identified historic properties in the area of potential effect (APE) in North Carolina, we request that the proposed Historic Properties Management Plan (HPMP) include provisions for consultation with us prior to any proposed reservoir drawdowns. Attached for your use are editorial comments on the HPMP. We look forward to working with you and other members of the Cultural Resources Resource Committee on this relicensing project. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

  • The Huguenots Colonial South Carolina
    The Huguenots of Colonial South Carolina BY ARTHUR HENRY HrnscH, Ph.D. Professor of American History in Ohio Wesleyan University Fellow of the Royal Historical Society [j] HAMDEN • ARCHON BOOKS • LONDON 1962 COPYRIGHT, 1928, BY DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS REPRINTED, 1962, WITH PERMISSION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE HUGUENOTS OF COLONIAL SOUTH CAROLINA CATHERINE LE NOBLE Daughter of James and Elizabeth Le Serrurier, emigrants; the wife of Henry Le Noble and the mother of Mrs. Rene Louis Ravenel. (From an original oil painting in the possession of Mrs. R. Y. Dwight, Pinopolis, S. C.) To THE MEMORY OF MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER PREFACE This study is an attempt to disentangle from the network of colonial history the contributions made in Carolina by the French Protestants. The initial impulse for the work was received and the beginning was made in a seminar conducted by Professor Wm. E. Dodd. In their original form three of the chapters of this volume were submitted in fulfillment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. To these several chapters have been added, bringing the work into its present form. In its preparation the en­ deavor has been to produce a narrative embodying the princi­ ples of sound scholarship, though also readable and interest­ ing. As no history of the Huguenots of South Carolina has hitherto been attempted, new ground has been broken and much source material heretofore unused for this purpose has been examined and utilized. In all cases the author has tried to get at the truth, regardless of current theories or traditions.
