Played a bit of the audio version of my book, _Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina_. I love, love, love the narrator's voice.

Here's a flyer with a discount code.

Reading the Charleston County public official register from the 19th century. I wonder why there were so few additions between 1861 and 1866? Seems like maybe there was a disruption??

Charleston County register of officials, 1840-1894 (magistrates, notaries public, and constables).

I just like the look of the cover.

Auto registration tallies for Newberry County, SC, 1906-1916. The legislature changed the law in 1917 to have the state take over licensing cars, but before it was handled by the counties.

Trying to figure out how notary publics worked in the 1840s in SC. Here is what James Henry Hammond (nice guy! 🫣🤢) thought when he was governor.

From the journal of an SC volunteer company during the 2nd Seminole War, 1836. “We had been here 2 weeks without seeing friend or foe”

Seems like they went down to Florida and looked around but didn’t find much.

1841: Sarah Moore, of Sumter District, SC, petitions the SC legislature to be paid back because an enslaved man she claimed ownership of was convicted and executed for the crime of burglary.
