The Women’s Camping Weekend commemorates the anniversary of the Combahee Ferry Raid. “On June 2, 1863, Harriet Tubman, under the command of Union Colonel James Montgomery, became the first woman to lead a major military operation in the United States when she and 150 African American Union soldiers rescued more than 700 slaves in the Combahee Ferry Raid during the Civil War.” This weekend event is designed for women to experience nature and outdoor recreation with like-minded ladies in a non-competitive environment. It will also serve as a reminder of the women who served in the Beaufort District during the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era to aid the war effort, abolish slavery, support freed and contraband Blacks and as teachers, nurses, laundresses, and cooks. These women include Harriet Tubman abolitionist, conductor of the Underground RailRoad, Union Army Civilian attache’, Dr. Esther Hill Hawks medical doctor, teacher, Rachel C. Mather founder of the Mather School for Negro Girls, Susie Baker King teacher, laundress, nurse, Charlotte Forten Grimke’ teacher, journalist, hospital volunteer, Laura M. Towne and Ellen Murray were founders of the Penn School.

The Women’s Camping Weekend event provides an opportunity for women to become more comfortable in the outdoors, participate in recreational activities, and discover ways to protect and create more natural spaces. Hiking, kayaking and a wildlife field trip are a few of the activities for the weekend.

A book we read and will reread many times. The information is superb and the footnotes and citations are in themselves a wealth of knowledge. “Harvesting freedom : African American agrarianism in Civil War era #southcarolina Carolina by Akiko Ochiai Product Description From early in the #civilwar War, the #seaislands of South Carolina set the stage for an exciting experiment in freedpeople's independence. Lowcountry South Carolina is particularly significant, not only for its aristocratic planters and its high profile in the secession, but for the degree of autonomy that the #slave acquired during seasons of absentee proprietorship. No place ever came closer to realizing the dream of Forty Acres and a Mule than this region, and consequently no place saw more vigorous struggles over #land possession. Proving to the world their abilities to purchase lands, to organize cooperatives, and to participate in political parties, the #africanamerican of the lowcountry forged and fought for their own #agrarian dreams. "[A] lively read and should be purchased by all libraries with collections on African American history and Reconstruction. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and above." - Choice "Demonstrating solid research and sound conclusions, Harvesting Freedom makes an important contribution to the scholarship concerning the African American quest for land in Civil War- and Reconstruction-era South Carolina. . . . [T]his fine work clearly illustrates how blacks on the Sea Islands marched to the beat of a different drummer." - The South Carolina Historical Magazine” #sthelenaislandsc #gullahgeechee #gullahpeople #blackfarmers #blackhistory #portroyalexperiment #reconstructionera #landowners #heirsproperty #robertsmalls #penncenter #hastingsgantt #read #reading #books #agriculturebooks #agrarianhistory #blackingenuity #intelligence (at Morning Glory Homestead) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcTOrlh7Tn/?igshid=1ci3kae5f6mrr

I took a few photographs as I walked around the property doing chores last week. I was surprised to see the male skimmer dragonfly on the gravel on the trail. The flowers in the pollinator meadow are returning. The campers visiting the property enjoy the flora and fauna of the farm. #smallfamilyfarm #nature #naturephotography #flora #fauna #floraandfauna #dragonfly #camping #campers #camping #hipcamp #sclowcountry #beaufortcountysc #beaufortsc #gullahgeechee #gullahfarmer #sthelenaislandsc #pollinatorgarden #farmflowers #flowersonthefarm #photography #photooftheday #farmphotography #farmlife (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwQTPanlZa6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xo0xrft5mppu

Meet Lena, one of our beautiful Ameraucana pullets. She has a striking plumage and pose, deserving of being named after the strikingly beautiful singer and actress, Lena Horne! She will soon begin to lay and then be a full fledged "laying hen". Her eggs will have a light blue or green tint. #ameraucanachickens #pullets #friendlyfowl #chicken #hens #tintedeggs #plumage #feathers #chickensoninstagram #sthelenaislandsc #beaufortcountysc #gullahfamily #gullahfarmers #poultrykeeper #poultry #prettychicken #veteranfarmer #womenfarmers #livestockphotography #livestock #birdphotography (at Saint Helena Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnNOw-Jlkhu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jwion09rnr74
