👍My mom use to take my brother (late 1940s) to Clark’s Hill and they found many relics (arrowheads, etc.).
Kudos to these stories. Always interesting.
“There is an almost petrified oak tree hulk in the woods behind the sandbar on the South Carolina side of the river dubbed ‘the Redneck Riviera,’ which is west of downtown Augusta.” Perhaps I have become directionally challenged, but how can anything on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River be West of downtown Augusta? North or East perhaps, but West?
Very interesting!
Neat story! So it was the colonists of the 17th century that we can blame for introducing guns to the area!
I always read your articles and most of the time I learn something new.
Another great story/history lesson. Scott you make learning fun!
