An Island Named Daufuskie is the story of a small island between Hilton Head
Island, South Carolina, and Tybee Island, Georgia, on the Atlantic East Coast.
Almost entirely overlooked by outsiders until recently, Daufuskie Island has
suddenly caught the attention of developers, tourists, national news media, and
individuals concerned with preserving the natural environment of the region. The
unusual history of this island is presented in this book (the first
comprehensive study of the Island from the 1700s to the present) in the form of
personal memories of the author, anecdotes and transcriptions of interviews,
letters and other documents, material derived from books and articles, lists and
genealogical charts, factual but lively narrative, and over two hundred
illustrations, most of which have never before been made public. 

Of particular interest are the great plantations Benjie's Point, Bloody Point,
Cooper River, Eigleberger, Haig's Point, Mary Dunn, Maryfield, Melrose, Oak
Ridge, Piney Islands, and Webb Tract. Family names include Mongin, Martinangele,
Edwards, Green, Cockran, Ash, Livingston, Fraser, Blodgett, Pope, Stoddard,
Chaplin, and Fripp. 

Island culture and customs, general history, and outstanding events are
described in chapters of general interest. The descriptions, anecdotes and
legends, and factual material packed into this entertaining and interesting book
can be found in no other source, and every page of this unique account is
illuminated by the author's love for the island and its people.
