Download or read book A New Plantation World written by Daniel J. Vivian and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the era between the world wars, wealthy sportsmen and sportswomen created more than seventy large estates in the coastal region of South Carolina. By retaining select features from earlier periods and adding new buildings and landscapes, wealthy sporting enthusiasts created a new type of plantation. In the process, they changed the meaning of the word 'plantation', with profound implications for historical memory of slavery and contemporary views of the South. A New Plantation World is the first critical investigation of these 'sporting plantations'. By examining the process that remade former sites of slave labor into places of leisure, Daniel Vivian explores the changing symbolism of plantations in Jim Crow-era America.

CHAPTER V THE SECOND DAY AT MOBOTOO The next morning after breakfast, Charles and I left the stable for a ride over the plantation. He was mounted on a strong, serviceable gelding, better fitted for his daily, systematic task of supervision than for the hunting field; I on a high-bred, black Kentucky saddlemare, which he kept for the use of his friends. He stopped first to take a glance at some work which his carpenter, Burwell Bassett, was doing on the gardener's house. Burwell was an aged negro, with stooping shoulders and a sleek, bald head, fringed with wiry tufts of white wool. Before we began our ride, Charles confided to me the fact that he was a good, worthy man, but as slow as a tortoise or a snail at his work; so much so that he could never understand, he said, how the construction of the Cologne Cathedral could have gone on for hundreds of years until the thought occurred to him that perhaps all the artisans engaged about it might have been like Burwell Bassett. To make things worse, Burwell, he declared, 82 was swathed in such dense folds of self-complacency as to be entirely impervious to any dart of criticism or reproof. "I asked him once," said Charles, "what kind of a person a certain man whom I was thinking of hiring was." "He's jes like me," replied Burwell. "He's a business man." Our interview with the old man merely brought out afresh the difficulty of dealing with him. Charles remarked that his job seemed to be making slow progress, and he replied with unruffled serenity: "Marster, dis am a moughty pertickler job." From the gardener's house we took a road that led in a westerly direction to the road which ran from the back entrance to the mansion grounds, along the stone wall, to the iron gates. When we reached the...

Download or read book Northern Money Southern Land written by Chlotilde R Martin and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1930s Chlotilde R. Martin of Beaufort, South Carolina, wrote a series of articles for the Charleston News and Courier documenting the social and economic transformation of the lowcountry coast as an influx of wealthy northerners began buying scores of old local plantations. Her articles combined the name-dropping chatter of the lowcountry social register with reflections on the tension between past and present in the old rice and cotton kingdoms of South Carolina. Edited by Robert B. Cuthbert and Stephen G. Hoffius, Northern Money, Southern Land collects Martin's articles and augments them with photographs and historical annotations to carry their stories forward to the present day. As Martin recounted, the new owners of these coastal properties ranked among the most successful businessmen in the country and included members of the Doubleday, Du Pont, Hutton, Kress, Whitney, Guggenheim, and Vanderbilt families. Among the later owners are media magnate Ted Turner and boxer Joe Frazier. The plantation houses they bought and the homes they built are some of the most important architectural structures in the Palmetto State--although many are rarely seen by the public. In some fifty articles drawn from interviews with property owners and visits to their newly acquired lands, Martin described almost eighty estates covering some three hundred thousand acres of Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Colleton, and Berkeley counties. Martin's lively sketches included stories of wealthy young playboys who brought Broadway showgirls down for decadent parties, tales of the first nudist colony in America, and exchanges with African American farmhands who wanted to travel to New York to see their employers' primary homes, which they had been assured were piled high with gold and silver. In the process, Martin painted a fascinating landscape of a southern coastline changing hands and on the verge of dramatic redevelopment. Her tales, here updated by Cuthbert and Hoffius, will bring modern readers onto many little-known plantations in the southern part of South Carolina and provide a wealth of knowledge about the history of vexing tensions between development and conservation that remain a defining aspect of lowcountry life.
