Book excerpt: Originally known as Saxe Gotha Township when it was created by the Colonial government in 1735, Lexington has a unique and rich history. The county began simply as a buffer between the city of Charleston and the Native Americans. Creative locals built a thriving business community in the area around the Congaree River in present-day Cayce, supporting trade between the colonists and the Native Americans. Emigrants from Germany and Switzerland were invited to become pioneers. They were independent, hard-working farmers who built the area into a strong and sustaining home despite numerous trials and tribulations. Native American wars, fires, Civil War, depressions, and world wars only solidified these settlers strong sense of ownership and pride in their county. Today visitors enjoy over 50 historical sites and recreation facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. A key link in the connection of South Carolina's four principal sections--the Piedmont, the Coastal Plain, the Pee Dee, and Savannah River Valley--Lexington County has provided an abundance of images that serve as a microcosm of the state's growth and development during the first third of the twentieth century. This fascinating new history of Lexington County showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available and allows readers a nostalgic view into another way of life: a mirror of a bygone day in largely rural but diverse settings, from The Fork in the southwest to the Dutch Fork in the northeast of the county.

Book excerpt: Lexington, North Carolina, heralded as the “Barbecue Capital of the World,” is located in the heart of the Triad, just 30 miles from High Point, Winston-Salem, and Greensboro. Along with barbecue, the town enjoys a rich history in the furniture business and textile industry. Legend claims that the European families who made Lexington their home in the early 1700s named it after a battle of the American Revolution. On April 19, 1775, the brave soldiers of Lexington, Massachusetts, armed themselves and courageously fought the British, losing seven American lives. News of their courage reached North Carolina, and it was decided to name the town in honor of the place where one of the first known British resistances occurred.
