Description
This was my very first view after setting foot for the very first time on Daufuskie Island, SC. Daufuskie Island is a "sea island" between Savannah, Georgia and Hilton Head Island, South Carolina about 2.75 miles offshore. The total island surface is just 8 square miles. It has a full-time population of around 250. The island was named a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places due to its Gullah and Civil War history. The island's recorded history traces back to Pre Revolutionary War times and was home to a sizable population of Gullah inhabitants from the end of the Civil War until very recently. Gullah are the descendants of freed slaves. There are no bridges that connect Daufuskie with the mainland; therefore all island access must come by boat. It really is a fascinating place and worth a boat ride over if you ever have a chance.
