While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Icosans. Mentioned by Bartram (Trav., 54, 1792)
in connection with the Ogeeche, Santee, Utina, Wapoo, Yamasi, etc., as having
been attacked by the Creeks, and "who then surrounded and cramped the English
possessions." The reference is to the early colonial period of South Carolina
and Georgia.
