Looking Back

This book consists of two sections: first, feature stories about various local area people and events taken from old issues of the Keowee Courier; and second, week-to-week highlights from the years 1963-1965 as reported in the Courier. It is the author's hope that these stories and reports will bring back some nostalgic memories for long-time local residents and provide some historical insight for younger people and newcomers to the area. The Keowee Courier, founded in 1849, is upstate South Carolina's second oldest newspaper--second only to the Abbeville County Press and Banner / Abbeville Medium, which was founded in 1844.
