In my recent research on Sullivan's Island and Isle of Palms, I discovered a whole new batch of what I call "hooey boy" history, not the least of which was finding out about the early history of Isle of Palms. Much has been written about the island after it was settled as a resort in 1898. But very little has been known about the island prior to that, back when it was called Long Island for its exceptional length (eight miles.)
First a bit of background: in the late 1600s, almost all the barrier islands north of Charleston except for Sullivan's Island, which was owned by the state, were granted to various individuals. Dewees, Capers and Bull's islands eventually became working plantations. Dewees became known as a shipbuilding center at one point; both Capers and Bull's Islands had substantial rice fields. It made sense to me that Long Island (Isle of Palms) would likely have been granted out during that same period and settled as well.
So I went on a search. Indeed, a Long island was granted out in 1696 to a man named Thomas Holton. Ah, but digging deeper I found that this Long Island was not "our" Isle of Palms but an island with the same name just south of the harbor, between Folly Island and James Island. Holton held other properties in that area, as well.
To find Long Island's original grant I think I've searched every record at the S.C. Department of Archives and History and at the RMC office, not to mention early proprietary records. But to no avail. The grant may be lost forever. Or I may simply have missed it and the grant will eventually come to light. Still, from what I found in my research about what was happening on the island in subsequent years, I feel pretty confident that someone had a grant for the island early on and its ownership was passed down through family connections.
And the families? The answer comes in why there is still a Scott Creek and Swinton Creek winding their way through the marshes behind the island. In 1784, William Scott placed an advertisement in the Charleston newspaper requesting that people refrain from hunting on his lands on Long and Goat Islands because he had placed livestock on these lands. (This may even be how Goat Island originally got its name.) When William Scott's daughter married into the Swinton family in the late 1700s, both Goat and Long islands became Swinton family landholdings and would remain so until they sold the islands in the 1890s. The Swintons held ownership for over a century.
During the period of the Swinton ownership a rather substantial plantation settlement was established on Long Island, complete with two houses, a slaves' quarter and various outbuildings. The location was about where the business district is now and can readily be seen on various maps of the island of the mid-1800s.
In 1831, Long Island was put up for sale and an advertisement was placed in local newspapers. Since the Swinton's continued to retain ownership, the sale was apparently stopped. But the advertisement told volumes about what may have been happening on the island at the time.
The advertisement noted that the island was "well timbered with Live Oak, for ship building, and is said to contain more than any island on the coast. It is also thickly wooded with different kinds of Oak used for firewood, and well covered with that valuable article, the palmetto, for wharf building. The high lands are well adapted to the culture of Sea Island cotton, provisions, and sugar cane; and the valleys are calculated to produce rice. On the premises are two comfortable dwellings, both of which have been built within the last seven years, and all the necessary buildings of a well settled plantation, comfortable negro houses, with brick chimneys."
Indeed, the island's abundance of trees made it particularly valuable land. Timber was not only needed to build the houses in Charleston but in the days when the only heating came from fireplaces and the only way to cook was on a wood stove, firewood was a prime commodity. Various woods were also obviously important to shipbuilding, especially the durable oak trees. Moreover, the spongy trunk of the palmetto tree was the preferred wood used for the pilings of piers and wharves because of its resistance against salt water and marine worms.
As for growing rice on the island, I feel sure it was at least attempted. As Awendaw historian Tim Penninger said, "Rice was such a valuable commodity back then people would have tried growing it in their kitchen sinks if they could have." Moreover, not all rice was grown on rivers but could be grown inland, the fields flooded by truly ingenious ways of moving water from freshwater reservoirs, ponds created specifically for this purpose. That there was such a pond on the island is known from a later bit of history I found. One of the first things they did when they created the new resort called Isle of Palms in 1898 was drain and fill a "lagoon" near where the Hotel Seashore was being erected. This very possibly might have been an earlier reserve pond.
Another commodity I believe they likely attempted on the island was indigo. In 1787, William Scott advertised for an overseer on his sea island familiar with the cultivation of indigo. Like rice, indigo was an esteemed crop in the late 1700s. The plant grew easily in the Lowcountry's sandy soil and the blue dye created from the plant was one of the Charleston's most valuable exports.
The other prized commodity the island had in huge, inexhaustible quantities were oysters, enjoyed as much in the 18th and 19th centuries as they are today. Various members of the Swinton family, especially in the later years of the 1800s, listed their occupation on the census as "oystermen." When the Swinton family sold Goat Island in 1894, it was to Captain Henry Merritt, one of the foremost oyster cultivators in the region. By the way, when Merritt died in 1916, his obituary stated that he was buried on Goat Island. There was also a "substantial" old plantation house on Goat Island at the time. One wonders where it was and what happened to it. And where Mr. Merritt's grave might be.
We do know what happened to the old Swinton plantation settlement on the Isle of Palms. It was consumed by the building of the spectacular resort created in 1898, when Long Island was no more but given the alluring new name, "Isle of Palms."
It is fascinating history all the way around. Hooey-boy.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Finally, the Acunto is hooked up and the first fire has been lit!
At first I thought that you had a peel in your hands, then I saw the gas line. How do you like lighting the fire with a torch? Do you use it just to light the wood or do you leave it in there for a little while?
That's my cactus burner - 300,000btu. It lights the wood right up.
Man that is a beautiful oven. Did you have that stand fabricated?AZ
Craig, I'm still jealous. Enjoy that beautiful piece of art.

Product Comments: I ordered invitations using the Upload Your Own feature. I called customer service and was told not to include a bleed. Upon receiving the first proof my designer and I noticed that the design was stretched to fit the 5x7 paper. We called again and were told to include a bleed so we sent in new files, reviewed the proof and approved. When I received my order the correct file was printed on one side and the bad file on the other. I appreciate the quick turnaround to fix the problem but I find it hard to believe that the product was even shipped to me in the first place.

A mannequin set up alongside Interstate 75 is causing drivers to do a double-take.
A billboard placed atop a BMW billboard near the Glendale Milford Road exit has prompted many calls to 911 from drivers who fear it's a real person who's planning to jump.
"It's a very good gimmick i guess for them, but i guess it causes a lot of concern for a lot of people," said Alison Nahrup, who works nearby.
Dispatchers said they receive dozens of calls per week about the mannequin, who looks like an adolescent or child to many callers.
Authorities said they're hoping the dealership will take down the mannequin, but he remains atop the sign.
A spokesman for Jake Sweeney BMW said the dealership had decided to take down the mannequin after hearing about the 911 calls it provoked.

Danks focuses in on Twins as series continues
Minnesota counters with Correia eyeing bounce-back start
As the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline looms and John Danks continues to be discussed as the subject of trade rumors, the veteran southpaw is less worried about a potential deal that would send him somewhere else than he is his next start, which comes against the Twins at Target Field on Friday night.
"Yeah, nothing changes. It is what it is," Danks said of the rumors on Tuesday. "It's part of it. Something happens, we'll deal with it then."
Danks will also likely focus on putting his last start behind him.
The 29-year-old was again victimized by the Astros last Sunday, surrendering seven runs on 12 hits, including a pair of homers, over just 4 1/3 innings. The meltdown came after he had turned in three quality starts over his last four outings, posting a 2.73 ERA over that span.
"I dug us a hole," said Danks, who only threw 78 pitches in the loss. "These guys fought hard to get out of it, but it [stinks] to set a tone like that. For whatever reason, Houston has beat me up this year. It stinks to go out there with a chance to sweep and not pitch well."
The Twins will counter with right-hander Kevin Correia, who similarly comes off an unremarkable outing that saw him relinquish four runs over four innings against the surging Rays.
"They were more patient on certain pitches I was throwing that I thought they were gonna be more aggressive on," said Correia, who issued three walks in the game. "It kinda got me behind on the count. I think their approach just kind of threw me a little bit today."
His previous three starts were all quality affairs, however, and he'll look to get back on track against a White Sox team that's tagged him for five runs (three earned) over 12 innings this season.
Twins: Morales gets sent west
Minnesota turned a late free-agent signing into a prospect on Thursday as the club traded first baseman Kendrys Morales to the Mariners in exchange for right-hander Stephen Pryor.
Morales signed a one-year deal with the Twins in early June and hit .234/.259/.325 with 11 doubles over 39 games before returning to Seattle, where he hit .277 with 23 homers last season.
"I think he liked it here, but we've put ourselves in a position where this is going to happen," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We'll put him in the middle of a pennant race over there, which will be fun. And we'll get a big kid back here [Pryor] who can throw the baseball -- and one we've seen."
Pryor, a former fifth-round Draft pick of the Mariners, has posted a career 2.81 ERA as a reliever over the last three seasons.
White Sox: Putnam lands on DL
A shaky White Sox bullpen lost one of its better arms on Thursday when it was announced that reliever Zach Putnam was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to inflammation in his right shoulder. The club recalled Andre Rienzo from Triple-A Charlotte to assume Putnam's vacated spot in the bullpen.
Manager Robin Ventura said that right-hander Jake Petricka, who recorded the save in Thursday's win over the Twins, will see the bulk of the team's save opportunities in the immediate future. He also added that Putnam may not need all of the prescribed 15 days to return to health.
"You're trying to get him healthy and make sure when they go back out there, they're 100 percent or as close to 100 percent as they can be," Ventura said.
Putnam has three saves this season and has a 2.35 ERA through 33 appearances.
Worth noting
• The White Sox rotation has now turned in 12 quality starts over the last 18 games after Hector Noesi kept the trend going on Thursday night, tossing 7 2/3 innings of two-run baseball.
• Though the Twins were hopeful that right-hander Kyle Gibson would be able to rejoin the rotation on Saturday, he is no longer expected to pitch in that game as he continues to deal with back stiffness. Triple-A Rochester lefty Logan Darnell (5-5, 3.43 ERA for Rochester) is a potential option to fill in for Gibson.

Washington, D.C. – Special Olympics athletes with hearing impairments will finally be able to enjoy the roars of the cheering crowds as they compete, thanks to a three-year agreement between Phonak US and the Special Olympics Healthy Hearing program. As part of the national partnership, Phonak US will donate hearing aids to be distributed during free hearing screenings provided at Special Olympics events across the United States, as well as the ability for athletes to visit local hearing centers for fittings and calibrations of the devices. An official signing event is being held Friday, April 8, as part of the American Academy of Audiology conference in Chicago.
"We couldn't be more pleased to partner with an organization that exemplifies such aspiration and inspiration. It's our long-term objective to effectively communicate a positive "no barriers" message as we strive to provide these deserving people the chance for more independence and a heightened quality of life through better hearing," said Cathy Jones, Executive Director, US Hear the World Foundation.
Nearly one in three Special Olympics athletes in the United States fail basic hearing tests of the too few that are even tested. Many of those that do have their hearing tested are candidates for hearing aids yet do not have access to care.
"We are extremely proud and honored to work with such a well known and highly regarded organization," said Dr. Timothy Shriver, Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics. "Our Movement's athletes represent the most medically underserved population in the world. With Phonak's help, we can offer them the health care intervention that they so badly need and deserve."
The agreement will also allow Special Olympics and Phonak's U.S. Hear the World Foundation to collaborate around joint fundraising and marketing initiatives to benefit the Healthy Hearing program across the United States.
About Phonak Headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland, Phonak, a member of the Sonova Group, has developed, produced and globally distributed state-of-the-art hearing systems and wireless devices for more than 50 years. The combination of expertise in hearing technology, mastery in acoustics and strong cooperation with hearing healthcare professionals allows Phonak to significantly improve people's hearing ability and speech understanding and therefore their quality of life.
Phonak offers a complete range of digital hearing instruments, along with complementary wireless communication systems. With a worldwide presence, Phonak drives innovation and sets new industry benchmarks regarding miniaturization and performance.
About Hear the World FoundationThe Hear the World Foundation is currently involved in numerous humanitarian outreach programs in the United States. Through these outreach programs, Hear the World Foundation aims to test, treat and support as many people as possible with hearing loss. The Hear the World Foundation leads frequent missions in which hearing health professionals and students provide evaluations, treatment and follow-up services as a means of improving long-term hearing health across various populations.
About Healthy HearingHealthy Hearing is one of seven medical disciplines that make up the Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program. Healthy Athletes is the primary health-related program for Special Olympics, providing free health screenings to athletes with intellectual disabilities in vision, hearing, oral health, healthy lifestyles, general fitness, podiatry, and sports physicals. The need for Healthy Athletes is great. Despite a mistaken belief that people with intellectual disabilities receive the same or better health care than others, they typically receive sub-standard care or virtually no health care at all. Special Olympics has shown that many health concerns are more common and significant for people with intellectual disabilities. Among Special Olympics athletes in the United States, 30.8% fail hearing tests; 24.6% have obvious, untreated tooth decay; 22% have low bone density; and 15.3% have eye disease.
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to nearly 3.5 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in places like China and from regions like the Middle East to the community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship.

Some technical information about Ulmon guides:
Map data is provided by OpenStreetMap – a fantastic collaborative open project comparable to Wikipedia. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide contribute to create the most complete and up-to-date source of map and POI data. We encourage everyone to contribute! As map data quality may vary by region and urban area, please check www.openstreetmap.org for details. We regularly fetch updates from OpenStreetMap and deliver them to you free of charge.
Travel content is aggregated and compiled from open web sources like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap as well as partner companies like booking.com and getyourguide. By aggregating and compiling this information, we aim to give you one central, easy-to-use repository of relevant information which makes it easy for you to find and enjoy the best places and things to do on your travels.

Customer Reviews
Get it. Just get it.
This app has saved my life. It is pure idiocy to travel in an unfamiliar foreign country without a map. I have used Ulmon in Italy, Greece, Ireland, as well as England. Definitely a must have with its marking and tracking ability.
Really great
I traveled Italy with this ap and couldnt be happier. I recommend this for anyone traveling in a local your not very familiar with.
Amazing app. Couldn't have done anything without it!!!
