In Tales along the King's
Highway of South Carolina, Blanche W. Floyd spins yarns of pirates
and plantations, ghosts and killer storms. She relates stories from the
Coastal Plain like the lost Sewee Indian tribe, the ghostly doctor that
keeps returning to Litchfield Manor, the bloody deeds of pirates Anne
Bonney and Stede Bonnet, American Revolution battles won and lost, the
vast wealth of plantations that disappeared after the Civil War, the
still-heard scream of an architect that plummeted to his death from a
church roof, and many others. As she did in her last book, Tales
along the Grand Strand of South Carolina, Floyd again explores
the folklore, unusual history, and culture of a beautiful region.
