The Gullahs of South Carolina Mr. Pearce W. Hammond

The Gullahs of South Carolina is a work of art as well as a work of history which tells an urgent and important story about the Gullah people and their vanishing way of life and culture. The book gives a pictorial journey through the sea islands and low country of South Carolina and conveys the great love of the Gullah people for the land and the water in peaceful times gone by. The art images and text in each section provides historical information and interesting facts about the Gullah people, their way of life, and their culture. The book also creates public awareness of the Gullah people and their unique language, lifestyle and culture in peaceful times gone by so that Gullah children and future generations will know and recognize the significant contributions the Gullah people have made to South Carolina and to America's heritage.
