Description

Book Synopsis

A storm in 1685 brought, in a wind-tossed brigantine seeking haven in the port of Charles Town, the scant bushel of seed from Madagascar which became the source of the famous Carolina Gold rice. The story of rice growing from this period until 1911, when a storm destroyed rice planting in South Carolina is told here by one-time Governor Heyward who was a rice planter himself.

Originally published in 1937.
