Floyd-- It is difficult to put a shovel in the ground anywhere in the SC
Lowcountry without approaching Gullah culture and history. Check out Leland
Ferguson's "Uncommon Ground" (Smithsonian Press 1992), Jim Michies' "Richmond
Hill Planmtation" (Reprint Press, 1990) and Charles Joyner's "Down by the
Riverside" (U. of Ill. Press, 1984). But as I said, every slave cabin or free
African American site in the Lowcountry is a representative of  "Gullah"
culture, whether the excavators emphasize it or not..... Carl Steen
