Originating in enslaved people's meager personal belongings when brought to South Carolina's remote coastal plains during the 1600s, the long grains eventually became "Carolina Gold," spawning an affluent rice producing culture that provided most of the world supply for over 2 centuries. It ended soon after the Civil War. But as author Virginia Christian Beach and Ramsey Russell discuss, the real story of South Carolina's historically glorious rice culture is the enduring land ethic and the colorful cast of characters that made it happen--especially duck hunters.
