{"product_id":"hilton-head-island-coastal-discovery-museum-9781531600327","title":"Hilton Head Island","description":"Hilton Head Island, a celebrated resort community with a colorful and intriguing past, is one of South Carolina's premier tourist destinations. Its scenery and leisure industry attract more than 1.5 million visitors each year to play golf, relax on the beaches, or just to soak up the atmosphere. Before the fairways and hotels ever arrived on the scene, the island already had a long and interesting history dating back as far as 10,000 years ago, 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 Hilton Head.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Coastal Discovery Museum, Coastal Doscovery Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531600328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531600327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Coastal Discovery Museum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045274185983,"sku":"9781531600327","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0ff36f9-c400-4ae4-aa6b-3464030e68bf.jpg?v=1684977778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hilton-head-island-coastal-discovery-museum-9781531600327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
