"The Frontier in the Colonial South: South Carolina Backcountry, 1736-1800"
by George Lloyd Johnson, Jr.

*************************************

The period of time covered is the time period mentioned in the title. As
for specific areas, most of the coverage is of the Cheraws/Pee Dee area to
Orangeburg area. This was an area that Charleston was trying to get settled
to provide a low-country buffer from Indian attacks.

The book does not cover the upstate of SC or even the central part of the
state such as Columbia. There are some references to the Camden area but no
mention of Columbia. If you were to draw a line from Cheraw south to
Orangeburg,  the area covered would be everything east of there to the
Atlantic.
