Vol. I. Columbia, S. Q. The State Company. Prof. Cook's first volume on the Peo Dee counliAufoes not disappoint those of us wluY^iave been awaiting its appearance for some time past. It is a scholarly book, scholarly in the sense that the author has thoroughly mastered and digested his material. Prof. Cook, who long taught Greek in Furman University and took up the writing of history only in his later years, prepared* the way for this volume by his studies in connection with the preparation of a life of David Hogerson Williams, a book which at once established his competency for the task he has here performed. His execution of the task, undertaken and prosecuted through the urging of the late Major James L. Coker and Bright Williamson of the Pee Dee Historical Society, has been thorough and it would be difficult to name any book of tke kind into which so much information has been crowded and which yet preserves the flavor a work of this character ought to have. In "Rambles in the Pee Dee Basin," Prof. Cook has drawn liberally upon all the standard books which have dealt with this section, most of which are now hard to get but he has done very much more than that. He has undertaken his own analysis of the people who settled and upbuilt the Pee Dee country, has attempted to trace the characteristics which they displayed and has vividly pictured the conditions- under which they lived from 1701, when his , story opens, until 1790, with whidh year this volume closes. As the title suggests, Prof. Cook treats his subject first of all ih the light of a region made distinctive by a very remarkable system of rivers, converging near Georgetown and including that part of South 'Carolina east of the wateri shed of the Santee and Wateree rivers, ^nly a single homesteader has been definitely located north of the Santee at or before 1701, he says, Bartholomew Gaillard; but many others soon followed and Prof. Cook tells the story of their coming, what manner of men they were, of what they did and of what they thought. Throughout he keeps close to the record as it has been preserved in one way or another and there are numerous evidences of the diligence of his researches. But his own keen comments are frequently interjected. The book is 110 assemblage of dry bones. It"Ti&s-form and color and life. In a sense, it is true, it is disconnected in character. The title suggests and the author modestly says that in good part he has but indulged in "the making of rambles in search of what enterprising predecessors had overlooked." The Pee Dee country was settled, of cours$f along its rivers and Prof. Cook in telling the story of the different rivers and their settlements has had to turn now to one 'community and now^to another. There are chapters also devoted to the chief ^ ' ' . . religious denominations, for religious influences have always boon powerful in the Pee Dee Basin. These chapters are especially full, us they should j have been, for the church played a very large part in the lives of the people and the records of its activ- ] ities mirror the morals of a time when . human nature was essentially whut it ' is today hut when the discipline of the church attained nearly to tyranny There are so many ways in which this book is valuable that ohly a few other suggestions can be made here. It .truces for one thing the story of the friction ihut urofte between the people of the Pee Dee and the authorities in Charleston and gives an account of its development, termina- I tion and effects. It presents, what was very much needed, a connected narrative of the Pee Dee's part jn the American Revolution; and a very worthy part it was. It gives some account of the years that followed the Revolution and of the debate that ensued in South Carolina over the adoption of the Federal Constitution. These are all matters which anyone wishing to understand the South Carolina oT Today needs to know something about. The render may not agree at ull with Prof. Cook's own theories as to how our character has been molded. Ho holds strongly to the view that the forces which have molded us were not the product of our environment so much as they were inherited characteristics brought to this new land by those . who settled it. ..But while he gives his views he does not mix his views with his facts, which he has gathered patiently and with great difficulty and pieced to- ^ gether with devoted care. _ An appendix to the book carries a valuable sketch by Mr. J. W. Norwood, of Major James Lide Coker; a sketch of Bright Williamson, one of the notable early f^gpres of the Pee Dee, by Mr. Bright Williamson, of Darlington, and a brief note on Francis Kinloch prepared by Mr. Langdon Cheves, of Charleston. j Cloth, pp. 462.
