Journey to "the right side of the river" with author and waterman Roger Pinckney to Daufuskie Island, one of the last of the undeveloped sea islands off the South Carolina/ Georgia Coast. Lying southwest of Hilton Head Island on Calibogue Sound, the island is approached only by boat and is home to islanders whose fiercely independent life styles and temperaments are products of a physical environment and spiritual culture of rare dimensions. In this debut collection of essays, Pinckney masterfully captures the cadence of life on the once pristine island that is still home to the Gullah people, descendants of former slaves. Islanders refer to the rest of North America as "The Other Side" and don't especially like to go there. Pinckney's poignant and occasionally raucous tales are filled with the wonder, rage and romance of a man on a personal mission to save an island and its people.
