BOLICK Bolick Produces Book On Fairfield , By MARCIA G. TURNER In a new book, “A Fairfield Sketchbook”, Julian Stevenson Bolick once again express a dedication to preserving in story and sketch the history, folklore and architecture of South Caro lina. turning for the first time to the Up-County in an impressive book released this week from Jacobs Brothers Press. The people and places compos ing Fairfield County history are depicted in both Mr. Bolick’s straightforward, readable style of writing and in his finely de tailed architectural drawings, as were landmarks of the Low-Coun try in his four (earlier) publica tions: “Georgetown Houselore,” 1944; “Waccamaw Plantations,” 1946; “Georgetown Ghosts,” 1956, and “The Return of the Gray Man,” 1962. Mr. Bolick began work on “A Fairfield Sketchbook” seven years ago when his mother, Mrs. Estelle Stevenson B. Dill, asked that he make a sketchbook of her native county and of the home of his father. The book Is dedicated to Mrs. Dill, who wrote the introduction to the section on Lebanon, her girlhood home. By means of historical data, anecdotes, description of archi tectural design and landscaping, genealogy, and pen-and-ink draw ings, Mr. Bolick has compiled a pictorial record of the churches, public places, and residences of Ridgeway, Longjown, Winnsboro, Jackson Creek, Lebanon, Blair, Feasterville, Monticello, Jenkins- ville, and New Hope. Famous landmarks, such as the Winnsboro town clock, once the local market place, the mon ument to Mexican War hero Lt. James Clark, which still stands in granite-walled old Jackson Creek Churchyard, and Furman Institute, the school often moved since its establishment in 1925, are authentically reproduced In historical fact enhanced by de tailed drawings. In tracing the stories of public places and private residences, Mr. Bolick reflects the impact made upon Fairfield County by the fine old families who lived its history. The book contains genealogical data and anecdotes ibout McMasters, McDonalds, McMeekins, CathcartS, Cole mans, Lyleses, Stevensons, Elli otts, and other names well known throughout South Carolina. Attractively bound in soft green cover made of fabric from Joanna Cotton Mills where Mr. Bolick is associated, the book contains an intoduction by Kath leen Lewis Sloan and sectional contributions by Charles E. Thomas, Bryan Roberts, Etta A. Rosson, Katherine Pearson Tom lin, Maymie W .Stevenson, and Mrs. Dill. The dignity, gentUity, and warmth of a historically wealthy South Carolina county depicted by Julian Stevenson Bolick in his “A Fairfield Sketchbook” will appeal not only to residents of that county, but to all who cher ishes the folklore, the tradition, and the culture Southerners proudly call their heritage.
