| Publisher Description: Part of our ever-popular Legends of America series, South Carolina Myths and Legends explores unusual phenomena, strange events, and mysteries in South Carolina's history. Each episode included in the book is a story unto itself, and the tone and style of the book is lively and easy to read for a general audience interested in South Carolina history. Stories include tales told to Ferdinand de Soto in the 1540s about a secret source of gold that the Spaniards never found; the 1927 disappearance of a daring young aviator, Paul Redfern, who pioneered the first air route to South America; and the mysterious appearance of horses from a noble Spanish equestrian bloodline on the beaches of South Carolina. |
