Before the fairways and hotels ever arrived on the scene, however, the island already had a long and interesting history when Native Americans first began to visit the area. In Hilton Head Island, Natalie Hefter and the Coastal Discovery Museum revisit this history, charting the area's development from its first plantation in 1717, through the boom years of shipbuilding and Sea Island cotton to the Civil War. In over 200 vintage\u003cbr\u003ephotographs, the authors document the impact of the Union occupation, the establishment of Mitchelville (the island's \"contraband\" and Freedmen community), the dramatic effects of the first bridge to the island, and the development of the tourist industry that now typifies this popular South Carolina destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738500485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.32d","brand":"Coastal Doscovery Museum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38016560529589,"sku":"9780738500485","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bc92fe5d-91ae-4a38-8eb2-07603d1216e6.jpg?v=1609159892","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/hilton-head-island-9780738500485","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
