Looking Back e-bog

This book consists three sections: first, feature stories about various local area people and events taken from old issues of the Keowee Courier; second, items from an editorial-page column written by the book's author, Ashton Hester, during a forty-four-year period from 1974 to 2017; and third, week-to-week highlights from the years 1966-1968. It is the author's hope that these stories and commentaries will bring back some nostalgic memories for longtime 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.
