A History of the Salley Family 1690-1965, is a genealogy of Heini and MariahOs descendants, sons Henry Salley Jr. and Martin Salley, who, emigrated with their parents from Switzerland. These two sons subsequently settled in the area of Salley, S.C. and their descendants are prominent among the peoples of Salley, and other areas of Aiken County, as well as North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Georgia, Louisiana and the world.

The second edition corrects minor typographical errors only. Not covered in this genealogy is Heini SaliOs third son, John. Born in Orangeburgh in 1740, he remained in the Orangeburgh town area, and the many Salleys of Orangeburg are primarily descended from him.

Charleston! Charleston!

Often called the most "Southern" of Southern cities, Charleston was one of the earliest urban centers in North America. It quickly became a boisterous, brawling sea city trading with distant ports, and later a capital of the Lowcountry plantations, a Southern cultural oasis, and a summer home for planters. In this city, the Civil War began. And now, in the twentieth century, its metropolitan area has evolved into a microcosm of "the military-industrial complex." This book records Charleston's development from 1670 and ends with an afterword on the effects of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, drawing with special care on information from every facet of the city's lifeā€”its people and institutions; its art and architecture; its recreational, social and intellectual life; its politics and city government. The most complete social, political, and cultural history of Charleston, this book is a treasure chest for historians and for anyone interested in delving into this lovely city, layer by layer.

Taking a Chance

"I love curling up with a good romance. But I hate it when I reach the end of a good book because I want to spend more time with the characters. That's why I was delighted to discover Renee Kumor's Riverbend Chronicles series, allowing me to move from book to book with Lynn and Dusty. This is only the second book in the ongoing series, so I have much more to look forward to reading." - Rosemary Mason, author of 123 for ME! This second entry in the popular River Bend Chronicles gives us a growing relationship between Lynn Powers and police detective Dusty Reid -- along with two murders. It begins with a battered woman being taken to the local woman's shelter, and Lynn recognizing her as a potential donor to the River Bend Philanthropies. What's going on in this peaceful little town?.
