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."
