Synopsis
The inspiring story of a community shaped by its African legacy Amelia Wallace Vernon was reared in Mars Bluff, a small farming community in South Carolina's pine belt. Though she moved away from the town early in her adult life, on her annual visits home she became increasingly interested in exploring and preserving the history of its African-American community. Over a period of years, she taped interviews with elderly members, who shared a trove of information about their lives and those of their ancestors. Allowing the story to unfold largely through the words of her subjects, Vernon has fashioned a fascinating history of the African Americans who lived in Mars Bluff from the mid-eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth-century. Unlike the African Americans of coastal South Carolina, inland blacks have received little historical attention, making Vernon's book particularly valuable. Among other discoveries, she reveals the survival of many African traditions and the perpetuation of a West African form of agriculture commonly associated with coastal South Carolina--the cultivation of rice., Amelia Wallace Vernon was reared in Mars Bluff, a small farming community in South Carolina's pine belt.
