The Old Plank Road of Edgefield County
A reminiscence of the historic plank road from Edgefield to Augusta describing its origins as a Native American trail, the toll gates, and the family journeys by stagecoach. The narrative recalls camping, Apple wagons from North Carolina, a tannery procession, and the road’s decline to clay while modern roads enable swift travel to Augusta. The Confederate Home in Columbia is noted with its $50,000 valuation.
