From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history.

From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. A key link in the connection of South Carolina's four principal sections--the Piedmont, the Coastal Plain, the Pee Dee, and Savannah River Valley--Lexington County has provided an abundance of images that serve as a microcosm of the state's growth and development during the first third of the twentieth century. This fascinating new history of Lexington County showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available and allows readers a nostalgic view into another way of life: a mirror of a bygone day in largely rural but diverse settings, from The Fork in the southwest to the Dutch Fork in the northeast of the county.

Revolutionary War general Robert Anderson is honored today in northwestern South Carolina through two namesakes: Anderson County and its county seat, also called Anderson. The town was the Palmetto State's first with long-run electrical power, and it therefore earned the early nickname of "The Electric City." Smaller towns in the county, including Belton, Honea Path, Piedmont, Pelzer, Pendleton, and Williamston, developed around depots serving the Greenville and Columbia Railroad.

Established in 1800 and located in the heart of South Carolina, Sumter County was named after the Revolutionary War hero Gen.
