Book Description
Excerpt from Aiken, South Carolina: A Description of the Climate, Soils, and the Nature of the Products in the Vicinity of Aiken, S. C., Especially Fruit, Cereals, Cotton, Corn, &C., Including Extracts From Letters of Distinguished Visitors, Correspondents, Action of Town Councils Inviting If Northern people knew how cheap and fertile these lands are, and how desi rable and pleasant a residence in this climate can be made there would be a stam pede not of carpet baggers merely but of permanent residents from the North. Nor need any be restrained by an apprehension that they would be regarded as intruders. The war, doubtless, has left its wounds - deep and painful wounds - but they are healing, and ere long little but the scars will remain. There is wide-spread destitution, but the people bear their losses With a fortitude equal to the courage which led them to hazard all in a struggle which resulted disastrously. In the six weeks that we have passed in South Carolina we have neither seen nor heard anything that lead us to doubt that intelligent Northern people, with a sense of What is due to others as well as to themselves, can readily cultivate agreeable business and social relations with the same class of citizens in South Carolina and Georgia.
