A Yankee Scholar in Coastal South Carolina by James Robert Hester
In A Yankee Scholar in Coastal South Carolina, James Robert Hester has transcribed William Allen's (1830-1889) journals and fully annotated them to create a significant documentary source of information on Civil War South Carolina. Hester notes that Allen's journals are more than travelogues, as he often analysed the people, events, and ideas he encountered.
James Robert Hester retired in 2005 from the Department of Energy Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, USA where he started his career as an engineer in 1972. Hester has spent his retirement as a student, first enrolled at Augusta State University, where he earned a bachelor of arts in music in 2010, and currently at Georgia Regents University, USA majoring in history specializing in antebellum black music studies. Hester became interested in William Allen’s writings in 2010 while writing a thesis on slave songs of Augusta, which were included in the 1867 anthology Slave Songs of the United States edited by Allen.
