Hilton Head

Originally compiled and written in the 1930s by the late Sarah C. Holmes von Kolnitz, Hilton Head: One of the Golden Isles of South Carolina, was shelved in obscurity within a private library collection for over 60 years. Recognizing the significance of the original document, Golden Isles Publishing consulted with historians in 2012. Considering the manuscript a culturally important artifact, historians recommended that the publisher preserve the document's historical integrity. With the exception of adding images to facilitate the reader's journey through time, the author's work has not been edited. The joint effort to present this valuable find to the public has resulted in this intriguing edition. Included in this brief history is a compilation of other notable works written in the 1800s by prominent historians of the era, making Hilton Head a truly unique and captivating read.
