Taken along the salt marshes, near the backside of old Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston.

This was land in the Umbra Rice Plantation until the mid 1800’s. The Ashley River water was used to flood small fields for rice production. Rice was a bigger cash crop than cotton in many parts of the south. This was why Charleston was the wealthiest city in the US before the Civil War.

This land is in the city limits of Charleston now.
