Essay framing the late antebellum economy of Lexington County, S.C., as more diverse and modern than the plantation-centered economies of other regions of South Carolina during the antebellum years. Topics discussed include the role of women in business and industry of old Lexington County, including the Saluda Includes maps showing distribution of workers around the county, based on data in the 1860 Census, with a total greater than 200 workers to be found concentrated in the towns of Lexington Court House, Countsville, and Saluda Town, S.C.; and another map of real estate values as documented in the 1860 Census.
