Hidden History of Dillon County (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609491581)

As a follow-up to his first book Remembering Dillon County, Carley Wiggins digs into a lesser-known territory with a fantastic new volume of his popular articles. He vividly recounts the history of the county, with a collection of rarely heard stories, including tales of the Maple Swamp Gang that terrorized the county during the years of the Civil War and Wiggins own years spent harvesting tobacco on the family farm. Along with the stories come the people, from Ches McCartney, known to the townsfolk as the "Goat Man," to the athletes of the Border Belt baseball team, proving Dillon County's history is overflowing with fascinating characters whose stories have never been told until now.
