Subject: RICHMOND HILL PLANTATION, 1810-1868. by James L. Michie From: Steve Coker Date: November 07, 1998 Michie, James L. RICHMOND HILL PLANTATION, 1810-1868. The Discovery of Antebellum Life on a Waccamaw Rice Plantation An original publication, 1990 (xx), 204 pp., illus, index ISBN 0-87152-441-4 LC 89-24298 (x) $24.95 [1998 catalogue price] Richmond Hill, a Waccamaw Neck rice plantation, lay dormant in its dark soil waiting to be aroused from a century of sleep. There it rested until 1983 when Archaeologist James L. Michie of the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology began a series of investigations that would unlock the plantation's secrets and ultimately discover house remains related to the planter, overseer, driver, and a community of slaves. This is an historical account of the life and times on a Waccamaw Neck rice plantation. It is also a critical analysis of artifacts; and, these artifacts present a stirring narrative about the very people who lived in a closed society given only to vast fields of rice. Reviews praised author Michie for "bridging the gap between the technical archaeological process and the avocational reader," for "making an invaluable contribution to the knowledge of Waccamaw Rice Plantations," and for writing "in a fascinating, romantic fashion thus giving an engrossing account of life in another time."
