SNEADS FERRY, N.C. (PRWEB) April 13, 2018
"The British had left Charleston, South Carolina in 1782, at the close of the Revolutionary War, leaving behind a wake of destruction." Henry Edwards, former captain of the American warship "Old Faithful," had paid the town a visit in 1783. Here was what he saw: "Fire had destroyed a large number of buildings. Hardly a house north of Broad Street had escaped the damage by shells from the British warships, and the houses south of it had been almost equally damaged by the batteries on the islands and the guns of the fleet. No squirrels were found, no birds to dispel the dead quietness with song. The neglected rice fields were overgrown with course grass. The indigo vats had gone to ruin; the little provision crops, which the women had striven to grow, were the only produce of the plantations. On many of these country estates, there was not a horse, cow, pig, or chicken to be seen. Of money, there was literally none."
"Here is the story of a patriot who captures the heart of a Charleston widow of French Aristocracy. Their life is one struggle —The passionate struggle of their stormy marriage, a struggle from island jungle cabin to plantation mansion. The abiding passion that held them together—Their dream for an island empire."
