H Jerry Morris: Barnwell County

Barnwell County


Description

Barnwell County, an area blessed with sweeping rural landscapes, has played an important role in South Carolina's distinguished history, from its roots in agriculture to its development of the government-owned Savannah River Plant. This visual history celebrates many of the county's small towns, such as Barnwell, Williston, and Blackville, and includes fascinating images of some of the smaller communities. In Barnwell County, you will experience an incredible visual tour of yesteryear, viewing Barnwell County through both photographs and postcards from the turn of the twentieth century to the 1960s. As you thumb through these pages, you will stroll along dusty downtown streets; visit the local train depots; read the time on the vertical sundial located next to the Barnwell Courthouse; explore the facilities of the German Prisoner of War Camp and see some of its inmates hard at work; investigate many of the old, wooden-frame churches scattered throughout the county; sit in on classes in one-room schoolhouses, including many of the African-American schools in the 1930s; watch trucks lumbering along dirt roads and balancing large homes from Dunbarton on their truckbeds; meet a few of Barnwell County's more prominent citizens, such as C.G. Fuller, Representative Sol Blatt, and Senator Edgar Brown; and enjoy a variety of everyday activities, such as hunting, scouting, attending family reunions, or riding in classic automobiles along county roads.

As Peanuts reaches the mid-1980s, Charles Schulz is still creating and playing with new characters, and in this volume Snoopy s deadpan, droopy-mustached brother Spike takes center stage: Surrounded by coyotes in the desert where he lives and who are attacking him with rubber bands, he sends a frantic message to Snoopy who launches an expedition to save him. Then, he makes the long trek back to Snoopy s neck of the woods accompanied by his only friend (a cactus, of course) and throughout the rest of the book, pops up in hilarious, Waiting for Godot-style vignettes set in his native Needles.In romantic news, the Peppermint Patty-Marcie-Charlie Brown love triangle of overlapping unrequited love heats up (well, kind of ), while Linus continues to vociferously deny that he is Sally s Sweet Babboo; of course, Lucy s unsuccessful pursuit of Schroeder remains unabated. Also, a romance blossoms between two of Snoopy s Beagle Scout birds. (We will pass over Spike s brief attraction to one of the coyotes.)In what is probably his most baroque and hilarious baseball-involved humiliation yet, Charlie Brown agrees to join Peppermint Patty s team the Pelicans only to discover that he s wanted not as a player but as a mascot Linus gives up his security blanket and forms a support group for other kids who are trying to do the same and Peppermint Patty manages to be held back in school (leaving a Snoring Ghost to take her place in the rest of the class that has advanced) Barnwell County download epub and yet get to go on a European trip with her dad, sending back periodic dispatches from the road. All this plus appearances from Franklin, Rerun, and the rest of the gang in these strips from a period of Peanuts that s far less well-known than the endlessly-collected 1960s and 1970s eras "
