About the Book

Georgetown is the third-oldest city in the state of South Carolina and the county seat of Georgetown County. Named for King George III of England, Georgetown County lies on the Atlantic Ocean surrounding Winyah Bay. The county's rivers--Santee, Sampit, Black, Pee Dee, and Waccamaw--were named by the Native Americans who were the area's first inhabitants. In 1732, the land was settled by the English, French, and Scots. Their first staple crop was indigo, but rice soon became the indisputable king of the Lowcountry and flourished in the marshes along the banks of the county's many rivers, creeks, and bays. By 1850, the county contained more than 175 rice plantations. The plantation era ended with the Civil War, the loss of enslaved labor, and a series of devastating hurricanes. Georgetown County's history will forever remain a part of the live oaks and Spanish moss found throughout the county and is retold in every cemetery within Images of America: Georgetown County's Historic Cemeteries.

About the Author :
Author Sharon Freeman Corey's family has always vacationed along the coast of Georgetown County, where she is currently a part-time resident. Her interest in genealogy and cemetery preservation, and more recently in museums and archives, led to more than 25 years of studies and research in family and local history.

Review :
Death is not the end. For author Sharon Corey of The Reserve community, cemeteries keep people's stories alive. She has used the tombstones of people who left their marks in life to write "Georgetown County's Historic Cemeteries," published by Images of America.Corey, a native of Chesterfield County who moved to the area in 2007, has a lifelong fascination with cemeteries that she combines with genealogy. While her book has hundreds of pictures of grave markers, she has spent the bulk of her time researching the lives of those interred centuries ago. While some may consider an interest in cemeteries a macabre hobby, Sharon Freeman Corey understands the importance of the buried past while also enjoying the tranquil beauty of today. Another addition in the growing collection of Images of America series, "Georgetown County's Historic Cemeteries" is a photographic essay of gravesites and historic markers found around the third oldest city in South Carolina.Though this book only represents a small part of the history steeped in the Lowcountry, Corey's compendium of cemeteries in Georgetown County has many varied stories. Unique backgrounds are a part each gravesite, historical marker, and location, the importance of which is not lost on Corey. Myrtle Beach Online 'I've loved them since I was a child in Chesterfield County," Corey said. "My Aunt Ella would take me for walks to the cemetery - for fun. Now I like them as an adult because they are history written in stone.'And now that lifelong interest is the subject of a just-published book titled "Georgetown County's Historic Cemeteries," one of the latest tomes in the Images of America series produced by Arcadia Publishing of Charleston. The book features nine historic cemeteries in Georgetown County, most of them located on the Waccamaw Neck, but some in the city of Georgetown's historic district. South Strand News
