An adventurous boyhood, a remarkable Southern community, and one jewel of a memoirClyde Bresee was just five years old in 1921 when his family moved from a tiny Pennsylvania farm to the Lawton Plantation near Charleston, South Carolina. While his father labored for the next decade to revitalize the sprawling sea island plantation's dairy operation, Clyde reveled in a world utterly foreign to the community of his birth. On James Island he encountered a society of mannered gentility, a climate where winter passed in the twinkling of an eye, a place of wandering tidal streams and vast expanses of salt marshes, and a peopleAfricanAmerican peoplewhom he had never met. In Sea Island Yankee, Bresee revisits the time and place that endowed his childhood with great happiness and that have held a powerful grip on his musings throughout adulthood.With the observant eyes of youth and the distanced perspective on an outsider, Bresee recreates his boyhood world of water, live oaks, and Spanish moss. He vividly describes the Confederated memorial observances at which he heard whitehaired veterans recount Civil War battles, and he recalls seemingly endless opportunities for swimming, crabbing, boating, and exploring. Bresee also pays tribute to the AfricanAmericans who shaped his sea island experience, from Jamsie, his multitalented playmate, to Ned, the indispensable plantation employee who once saved the life of Clyde's brother.
