Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few locations in South Carolina have figured as prominently in the early history of the state as the old town of Ninety Six. As a witness to two Revolutionary War battles, two Cherokee War battles, a trading post, three forts and two towns, the site is perhaps one of the richest archaeological sites in the South. In recognition of its rich history the Ninety Six National Historic Site became part of the National Park Service in 1976. The unusual name that was given to the site is believed to have taken root in the early 1700s. English traders estimated the distance to the Cherokee village of Keowee in the upper South Carolina foothills to be ninety-six miles. By the 1770s, Fort Ninety Six and the adjoining villagelocated at the crossroads of twelve roadsreached its peak as an important backcountry outpost, boasting a growing population, a newly constructed courthouse and jail. However, the onset of the American Revolutionary War would end this progress and the first land battle south of New England was fought at Ninety Six in 1775. The fort and town would change hands many times between those fighting for independence and those still loyal to England, leaving the town in shambles by the close of the war. Old Ninety Six: A History and Guide, by Robert Dunkerly and Eric Williams, is a well-researched and highly accessible work, which underscores the important contribution of Ninety Six to the early history of South Carolina and guides the reader through the well-preserved fort that stills stands at the site today.

A nostalgic must read for those who experienced it and an exciting and intriguing read for those that didn't." Dean Cavanagh - Award winning screenwriter "A punchy, authentic and recognisable trip down memory lane. Johnny Proctor captures the feeling of what it was truly like in early 90's Scotland when Acid House went toe to toe with Football hooliganism." Brad Welsh - Holyrood Gym and ex Hibs CCS "Johnny Proctor encapsulates everything that was right and wrong about football hooliganism and Acid House. It evoked memories of how it felt like to be part of two scenes that co existed" Anthony Donnelly - Founder and owner of Gio Goi Ninety, the first novel from Johnny Proctor Meet Zico. 16 years old in 1990 Scotland, still at school and preparing himself for entering the big bad world while finding himself already on the wrong side of the tracks. A teenager who despite his young years is already no stranger to the bad in life. A member of the notorious Dundee Utility Crew who wreak havoc across the country every other Saturday on match day. Then along comes a girl, Acid House and Ecstasy into his life showing him that there are other paths that can be taken. When you're on a set course of self destruction however, sometimes changing direction isn't so easy. Ninety is a tale of what happens when a teenager grows up faster than they should ever have to while finding them self pushed into a dangerous turn of events that threatens their very existence. Set against the backdrop of a pivotal and defining period of time for the British working class youth when terrace culture and Acid House collided and infectiously changed lives and attitudes accordingly.

Download or read book Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina written by John Belton O'Neall Landrum and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1897 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with local stories and dramatic scenes of fighting from across many decades, J. B. O. Landrum's chronicle of South Carolina is a treasure of the past. The author is enthusiastic in presenting accounts which encapsulate the local Carolina spirit; tales of hardship amid an unforgiving wilderness, of brutal combat between the Native Americans and the white settlers, and of everyday living in the villages and townships of the various counties. War stories and dramatic events are commonly taken from recollections of descendants and written anecdotes; such sources make for a lively and thoroughly engaging history of how South Carolina came to be. By the time he wrote this history in 1897, J. B. O. Landrum was already respected as a writer and chronicler of the past. Locals in and around the Carolinas would, from time to time, send him pertinent material. This edition includes the original publication's maps of the locality, so that readers can understand where settlements stood in the grand scheme of things, and how troops moved around during the conflicts. For its unique storytelling and knowledge, this history retains much value for modern day readers.
