"From the standpoint of innate ability, bravery, chivalry, purity of character and unselfish
patriotism, the sons and daughters of Carolina are the equals of any on the American Continent
and today represent the finest type of American citizen; yet it is difficult to try and tell the story
of this people of mixed races, several religions, various customs and the modifications of these various
differentations by climate, occupation, wars and the physical conformation of the land on the face of
which they lived, and moved, and had their being.
"It is an interesting peep into the past to envisage the homes in which these pioneer peoples and
their descendants dwelt. These homes were the expression of their individualities modified by their
occupations and means. The social, political and economic significance of these empire builders
stands revealed in the homes they builded as well as the taste that prompted the style.
"Means were found for overcoming distances, securing material, and workmen were either developed
or imported to carry out the design of the desired habitation, while the landscape gardeners were
employed to decorate and embellish the neighboring grounds. All of these factors enter into the
kind of house and the type of architecture found in lowland and highland of South Carolina."
