About This Book
Sunken Plantations: The Santee-Cooper Project examines the transformation of South Carolina's Lowcountry through one of the region's largest public works initiatives.
The book documents how the construction of the Santee-Cooper hydroelectric and navigation project led to the flooding of numerous plantations and communities.
Using historical records and photographs, it explores the cultural and environmental changes that followed the creation of Lakes Marion and Moultrie.
The narrative places the project within the broader context of 20th-century infrastructure development and land-use change in the American South.
