Hobcaw Barony is a beloved 17,500-acre plantation and wildlife refuge on the South Carolina coast between Charleston and Myrtle Beach. Plantation Between the Waters, by Lee Brockington, senior interpreter at Hobcaw, brings the centuries of history surrounding Hobcaw Barony to the public in remarkable clarity. The images and text provide an intimate glimpse into the lives of the people who have been connected to this unspoiled landscape for generations.
After enjoying the 3 hour tour of the Hobcaw Barony led by the author, I made a beeline for the small gift shop for this book. The preservation of the land owned by the Belle Baruch Foundation is a gift to all of us. 17,500 acres of preserved land are being studied by scientists from all over the world is making a difference. This book is thoroughly researched, and well documented with pictures of the Baruch family, and friends - including Presidents, Generals, and a Prime Minister. A wonderful chronicle of humans, and nature from early 1900's through today.
