John's Island (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780738543468)

A collection of photographs from past generations that help preserve a disappearing way of life in John's Island, South Carolina.

John's Island (also spelled Johns Island) is the largest Sea Island and the second largest island on the East Coast. The legendary Angel Oak, a restored 18th-century mansion, and an African-American praise house are a few of the historic treasures found beyond the island's wide salt marsh vistas. Its scenic roads wind along rivers under moss-draped oaks, where planters and their descendants have farmed for generations. Since new development is rapidly changing the island's character, residents, including native author Connie Walpole Haynie have collected these photographs from over the years to allow you to go inside the island's history.
