In the early 1930s Chlotilde Martin wrote a series of articles for the Charleston News and Courier documenting the transformation of the lowcountry coast as an influx of wealthy northerners began buying scores of old local plantations. This volume collects Martin's articles and augments them with photographs and historical annotations.
