Treasure trove...Newberry SC.

This is a must-read for a family historian or genealogist. If your roots are in Newberry County, SC, you don't want to skip this treasure trove of names, places, anecdotes.

A very big, ponderous and dry book detailing the history of a small southern town. It makes a nice reference work for the shelf but extremely boring reading. The style is pedantic and sounds like a transcript of the worst college history lecture ever given.

That said, it's full of trivial details about this small town and county in central South Carolina. Heavy on the "great man" approach it spends most of the time discussing the wealthy members of the community and rarely touches in great detail on the plight of the middle classes and poor, and certainly skirts the whole slavery issue when possible.
