    About this ebook

    Rebels, Yankees, and Historic Rice Plantations in the South Carolina Lowcountry . . .

    The Stories:

    ~  A Torpedo, an Admiral, and the USS Harvest Moon  ~ 
    The rice mill engineer of Brookgreen Garden’s Laurel Hill Plantation strikes a blow for the Confederacy in “Thomas Daggett,” a tale of one final Confederate naval operation

    ~  A Sad Tale from a Tragic War  ~
    Memories of a special Lowcountry rice plantation feast sustain ragged Confederate soldiers through cold, heat, dust, mud, and despair in “The Legendary Feast.”

    The Series:
    Brookgreen Gardens storytellers share more history and folklore from Murrell Inlet’s popular tourist attraction in near Myrtle Beach in this short collection (10,000 words, 6 illustrations, 82 pages in paperback) from Lynn Michelsohn’s second series, More Tales from Brookgreen: Folklore, Ghost Stories, and Gullah Folktales in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

    The Storytellers:
    Two “sixty-ish” Southern ladies serving as Hostesses at Brookgreen Gardens told these stories of the South Carolina Lowcountry to visitors during the middle of the Twentieth Century. Now, Lynn Michelsohn recounts them to a wider audience.

    The Setting:
    Brookgreen Gardens, a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve created in the 1930s from four historic Lowcountry rice plantations rich with folklore, displays American sculpture along its pathways winding through ancient live oaks draped with Spanish moss.

    Author

    Lynn Michelsohn

    Travel, history, and folklore often come together in Lynn Michelsohn's books. Ghost stories associated with particular historical locations especially interest her, as do fascinating characters and quirky facts about places she loves--the South Carolina Lowcountry, the American Southwest, and the Galapagos Islands. A Message from the Author: I write for three reasons. First of all, it's fun. Secondly, it keeps my brain alive and functioning as I learn new things. Finally, and probably most importantly, it keeps me out of my sons' hair (I just know I could run their lives, if only they would let me!). Several years ago, I closed my long-time New Mexico practice in clinical and forensic psychology to devote more time to writing--and beachcombing. My husband, a former attorney, and I now divide our time between Santa Fe and Hutchinson Island, Florida, where our two adult sons visit us regularly (but not often enough).
