In the words of John E. Davis of South Carolina Wildlife, "Our love of the land is fierce, our belief in the independence of the individual unshakable. Products of an agrarian society wilting under the heat of change, we are eager to bask in the wealth of development, yet desparate to hold onto our Southern roots -- our sense of place."
