Basically, a history of colonial South Carolina. Its existence and survival centered around the Indian trade, which because of geography allowed traders to penetrate deeper into the interior than in any other colony. But the French to the west and the Spanish to the south caused trouble for the English. The Yamasee War (1715-16), in which the Indians rose up against the settlers because of unscrupulous traders, was an important event, and one which caused the Indians to asscocite themselves even more with the French. Unfortunately, Cranes book is not a very stylish one, and certainly some maps would have helped.
 Excellent, clear and thorough. January 29, 1998

This is the best over view that I have read on the founding of S. Carolina and the spread of British influence in the southern U.S. From aprox. 1675 up to the founding of Georgia in the 1730s. Makes sense out of a complex subject. The paperback edition unfortunately omits Cranes Bibliography.
