Abstract

While writing three novels from her comfortable brick home in Lexington, Carol Williams lived many lives in the 18th-century backcountry of South Carolina. Writers do that sort of thing. To tell the story of Swiss immigrants in the lands along the Saluda and Congaree rivers, the author became the hunter, the farmer and the soldier desperate to survive in a severe and glorious wilderness.
