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!
I- South
Carolina Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
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.
Inisiguanin. Mentioned as one of the towns or provinces
apparently on or in the vicinity of the South Carolina coast, visited by Ayllon
in 1520.
Itseyi (Itséyĭ,
new green place, or 'place of fresh green'; often falsely rendered 'Brasstown',
from the confusion of Itséyĭ
and Uñtsaiyĭ,
the latter term signifying brass). The name of several former Cherokee
settlements. One was on Brasstown cr. of Tugaloo r., in Oconee co., S. C. ;
another was on Little Tennessee r., near the present Franklin, Macon co., N. C.,
and probably about the junction of Cartoogaja cr. ; a third, known to the whites
as Brasstown, was on upper Brasstown cr. of Hiwassee r., Towns co., Ga. Mooney
in 19th Rep. B. A. E., 523, 1900.
