THE MILES Brevvton HOUSE CHRONICLES THE MILES BREvVTON HOUSE CHRONICLES AND REMINISCENCES BY MARY PRINGLE FROST Published after her death by her sisters Susan Pringle Frost and Rebecca Motte Frost DEDICATED IN LOVING l\tIEMORY TO OUR GRANDPARENTS: WILLIAM BULL PRINGLE AND MARY 11 OTTE ALSTON PRINGLE Who made our childhood in the old home so happy Fore,vord By 1\1.abel Goode Frantz Adages are rooted in kno,vn effects from causes in· human experience. And in this book that one concerning the ,vay to become an author, in spirit and in truth, is again proven: "Look into your heart and write." In these pages Miss Mary Frost has done just that; so, entering with her through the old doors of the l\1iles ·Brewton house, ,ve enter like,vise into the gentle quiet of her mind, ,vhere for years she has listened to the voice of the house ,vhose story she tells. Truly it is a labor of love; and one for which all those who care about the descent of courage and honor, and steadfast­ ness to posterity from the generations gone before ,vill give her thanks. It is as if she were peculiarly chosen to give just this gift, of ennobling remembrance, to the world today, that it may pause in its weary ,varfare and fear to be heartened once again by not­ ing the summing-up of what makes life, ahvays and under all conditions, worth the living. No one could possibly be better equipped for her task than 11:iss Mary is, having lived within the ,valls of her story, and kno\ving the facts and the fancies which they enclose as no one else, perhaps, can kno,v them. Fitting it is that through her gentleness and cultured grace the light of other days should cast its glow upon the present. The style is of simple directness, that places no veil of unnecessary ,vords bet,veen the reader and. the picture in the author's mind. The sturdy chain of history is here, ,vith its binding strength; strung, too, vrith the gay little ornaments of daily use-and-,vont; happy anecdotes; old customs; the domestic and social backgrounds; ,vhile the shado,vs of many sorrows, borne ahvays ,vith the fortitude of faith, brood often over the naive tenderness of the tale. One feels throughout these pages what the author said of the 'small purple blossoms' mingled with the garden's prouder array, "the perfume of soft intent." We are the better for this privilege of vicarious contact with a wisdom and endurance that have not been forgotten, but which are the foundation stones of these qualities wherever found in the lives of today; for this "background of good cheer; also of merriment; also of prayer ... for the influence of a lovely house and garden.'' In the words of a poem which is quoted in the fragrant garden chapter, this book is "a free gift to the lovers of the past"; and to it let us come, " . and learn Charity and the winged power to rise, From ashes of an unforgotten past, To calm and dignity beyond emprise." Charleston, Nov. 14th, 1939 Villa Margherita, Charleston, S. C. Nov. 14, 1939 Dear Miss Mary : Here is your manuscript back, and I can't thank you enough for the privilege of having read it. I am hoping that you will let me see more, and want to come, if you will let me, a little later and ask for it. Though l will phone you first. You know I was presumptious enough to ask to be per­ mitted to write a foreword. Well, I think I can judge by the three chapters I have seen as to the nature of the rest, so I am enclosing ( with the manuscript) the first draft of it, which is, at the same time, the expression of what I think of what you have done. That is why I am not telling it here. I went to the Library and was informed that they had not yet copied Ezra Waite's will, though they intend to do so ; but that you can obtain access to it, and copy it, or what you want from it, by going to the Probate Court in the Court House here, where the will now is. The librarian did not seem to know any­ thing about the map. I think my little visit with you was one of the sweetest spots in my life, and I brought away peace, and an uplifted feeling. Faithfully yours, Mabel G. Frantz. There are so many dear things in the manuscript which I want to talk over with you. Villa Margherita, Charleston, S. C. Nov. 26, 1939 Dear Miss Mary : Again my ,varm and most' genuine appreciation of the pleas­ ure and honor I have had in reading some of the chapters of your lovely book. As I told you, perusing what you have written ( the recaptur­ ing of the past on paper) puts me into such a vibration of courage and romance that I am lost to the world for a while, and come back with a little start, and a sigh, to the present. But what you tell us is : that the present is founded on that 6 THE l\1ILES BRE\VTON HOL~SE past, so that ,ve n1ay contemplate today ,vith greater calm and faith, for ·what has gone before. I think your craftsn1anship is exquisite. The style so direct and so uniquely s,veet. 1\nd the ,vay you use the excerpts and quotations from other ,vorks is done so naturally-and so in just the right place­ that the even flovv is never interrupted, and one feels that nothing else could have been said just there. Some of the sayings are so very fine: as, for instance, this from the letter of Ed,vard Pringle-''To hin1 and to Charley the death of our dear \\rilliam will be especially sanctified. For \Villiam left them nothing but a noble example, and such a death at their age ,vill have its sacred place for life." And the lovely letter from Charles .A.lston to "Hess" on her marriage. And the phrase from the address of the Rev. John Johnson, "It is a duty ,ve o,ve ourselves as well as to our neighbors to know how to admire." And it struck me as a wonderful thing that Eliza Pinckney, in reading VirgiL decided that the agricultural prodttcts which he mentioned in that noble poem must also be suitable to South Carolina, ,vhereupon she set about to try them. All these anecdotes and little, intimate stories of daily life, and the gro,ving of the generations, make a chain of history far more enchanting than the ,videst statistics could do; and they make good ,vriting. too, for an author's chief ain1 is to accomplish what you do in these pages-the ·transportation of the reader into the vvorld of ,vhich he, or she, ,vrites. Our American, and especially our Southern, people will be glad of this work whenever the "guidance" con1es as to ,vhen they may receive it. And I cannot tell you ( though I tried) ho,v privileged I feel to have seen some of it, and to kno,v of the existence of something so truly a treasure. Next ,veek I plan to go to Beaufort ( the "Baby Charleston") for a fe,v days, and I do ,vant to come and see you again one day, before I go home. \Vith n1y thanks and genuine congratulations, I am, Faithfully your friend, 'Mabel G. Frantz. i-\. CI-I~A.R.LESTON HOUSE 1'here is a house that is like a leisured drean1 delicately poised upon unruffled streams of stillness, sv;eeps line on gracious line of intricate, carved gates and curving stairs- of slender, haughty ,vindo,vs, and ghost like columns, into the calm perfection of re-echoed n1usic. Gardens like old and faded silk trail the rare luster of frail patterns in the sun. There is an easv., flo,v of stairs from floor to floor.

Reticent faces in dull frames recede from day- they are alone like figures in a distant room.

  • Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion
    Vol. 4 No. 1_____________________________________ ________________January – March 2007 Trail Commission Searches SC Swamps for Gen. Francis Marion The oil on canvas painting, General Marion Inviting a British Officer to Share His Meal, by Eutaw Springs artist John Blake White (1781 - 1859), memorializes the “Swamp Fox” sharing his sweet potato dinner with a British officer reported by “Parson” Mason Locke Weems in his highly romanticized The Life of General Francis Marion: A Celebrated Partisan Officer, in the Revolutionary War, Against the British and Tories in South Carolina and Georgia. This painting was presented to the United States Senate in 1899. According to the artist’s son, Octavius A. White: “the figure of Marion is a portrait from memory, as my father, when a boy, knew him well. Marion’s farm adjoined the plantation of my grandfather.” If this is true, this is the closest any artistic representation of Marion is to the artist having painted a contemporaneous image of the partisan. For more information on this painting, see the catalogue write-up at http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/art/artifact/Painting_33_00002.htm. For recent “news” on Oscar Marion, see http://fusilier.wordpress.com/2006/12/17/oscar-marion-is-anonymous-no-longer. The Francis Marion Trail Commission will seek out the documentation and archaeology to sort the myth from the man and to accurately depict the story of the Revolution in the Pee Dee and Lowcountry of South Carolina on those hallowed grounds. 1 Editor / Publisher’s Notes Academicians have many academic journals in which to publish articles, but the lay writers are much more limited.

  • Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781
    Vol. 4 No. 2.1_____________________________________________________ __April – June 2007 Assault on Fort Granby May 15, 1781 Fort Granby was built by the British and Loyalists around the Kershaw and Chesnut c. 1770 trading post on the western bluff overlooking the Congaree River. Located in an area historically called “the Congarees” which hosted two pre-revolutionary forts and trading posts dating back to 1715. German, Swiss and Scot-Irish immigrants established small farms in this area and Granby would later be the leading town for many years. This 1970 oil painting by Alfred Richardson Simson depicts the May 2-15, 1781 siege of the British post by the combined forces of SC militia Gen. Thomas Sumter and Continental Lt. Col. Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. A 263-man Loyalist force commanded by Maj. Andrew Maxwell defends the fortified frame house. Maxwell agreed to surrender provided he was allowed to maintain possession of his plunder. The green-jacketed Lt. Col. Lee, depicted to the left, watches his cannon engage the fort from the east side of the Congaree River as Gen. Sumter’s and Col. Thomas Taylor’s troops attack. The painting was photographed by Will Graves and enhanced for publication. Used by permission of The Cayce Historical Museum, 1800 12th Street, Cayce, SC where the original hangs.

  • An Archeozogicaz Overview of the Project Area
    AN ARCHEOLOGICAL/HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF SOUTH CAROLINA WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE CONGAREE RIVER VALLEY An ArcheoZogicaZ OVerview of the Project Area Archeological research within the Congaree River Valley may be regarded as a patchwork of several small investigations, published articles, and unpublished research. Wauchope (1939) described several Clovis points from South Carolina, two of which were found in the upper portion of the Congaree valley. Following Wauchope's brief research, Dr. Chapman J. Milling, a Columbia physician, published a book regarding historic and protohistoric accounts of South Carolina Indians, portions of which pertain to the Congaree (Milling 1940). Based on some ceramic sherds obtained from the Thorn's Creek site (38LX2), Griffin (1943) set forth the type description for Thorn's Creek pottery. In 1969, Robert L. Stephenson began recording sites within the valley, and in 1969, James Michie began excavating at the Thorn's Creek site. This research provided certain stratigraphic information which confirmed basic cultural sequences set forth by Coe (1964) in North Carolina. In 1970, Michie began investigations at the Taylor site (38LX1) which lasted for nearly two years (1970). These excavations clearly demonstrated that early Archaic material culture can exist in an undisturbed context, and if large enough areas are opened, intra-site patterns of human behavior can be determined. In 1972, Michie spent several months excavating portions of the Buycke's Bluff site (38LXl7), providing additional information concerning cultural sequences and geologic variability and its effect on the archeological record. These initial investigations in the late 1960's and the early 1970's served to indicate the relative importance of sites within the valley: sites can yield stratigraphy, and sites can yield relatively undisturbed patterns of human behavior.
