There is a fascinating book about religion in the back country of South (and North) Carolina in the decade or so before the Revolutionary War. It is a compilation of sermons, letters and other writings of an Anglican priest, who was a former plantation and slave owner, merchant, elected official, etc. who then became a priest and set out to serve those outside of Charleston, SC as an itinerant minister, going 3000 + miles a year. Speaks of Presbyterians, Baptists, Quakers as well as Anglicans. Wonderful descriptions of life on the frontier. Full of his English, educated, loyalist, political and Anglican sentiments! Talks about Saxe Gotha, 96 District, the uncertain border between North and South Carolina and other places that are frequently mentioned in the Bush River list correspondence, and mentions quite a few people, both ministers and various church members. Lots of documentation. The Carolina Backcountry on the Eve of the Revolution. By Charles Woodmason . Edited and with an Introduction by Richard Hooker. ISBN # 0-8078-4035-1 Published in 1953 by the University of North Carolina Press and multiple printings since then. I do not know if it is still available or if it is just in libraries and used book stores. Kathie Johnston kathquilt@aol.com
