Following in the footsteps of
his critically acclaimed Afoot in the South: Walks in the Natural
Areas of North Carolina, Phillip Manning now explores South
Carolina, the state where he was raised. Each of the fifteen walks
featured in this book represents a distinctive natural environment found
in South Carolina. Manning travels from the great birding trails of Cape
Romain to the ancient cypresses in the black-water swamp of Francis
Beidler Forest; from Santee Coastal Reserve where fifty thousand ducks
winter each year to Caesars Head State Park with its huge tulip poplars.
By centering each walk around one or tow notable natural or historical
facts, Manning weaves a rich essay about each area. He supplements these
essays with practical information such as maps, details of who to
contact and where to stay, and suggested reading lists.
