In a sweeping chronicle of the city and county, A. V. Huff traces Greenville's business tradition as well as its political, religious, and cultural evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHuff describes the area's Revolutionary War skirmishes, early settlement, and mix of diversified agriculture, small manufacturing operations, and summer resorts. Calling Greenville atypical of much of the antebellum South, the author tells of the strong Unionist sentiment, relative unimportance of slavery, and lack of staple agriculture in the region. He recounts Greenville's years of Reconstruction, textile leadership, depression, and postwar industrial diversification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition fo tracing Greenville's economic growth, Huff identifies the region's other hallmarks, including the fierce independence of its residents.
