description: "This is the story of a man born on a farm in central South Carolina near the town of Cameron. He was born there in 1891 and died there in 1975.  In between, he touched many lives.  He spent his life helping his fellowman andsome appreciated it and some despised him for it.  He never helped anyone for his own gains,only his personal satisfaction in seeing the successes of the receiver.  He was truly a philanthropist, a giver of hisown rewards.In this story you will find a way of life of the self-sustainingrural white farmer in the South at the end of the 19th century, and the many,  many changesthrough three-fourths of the 20th century. Anyone who lived during these times can understand the variousday-to-day ways of the farmer who lived then. It is more difficult to understand for those who just read about it.The author had a very uncanny knowledge of it all, havinglived the latter part of this period, and a total understanding andappreciation of this way of life."
