In partnership with the University of South Carolina Press, the Simms Initiatives at the University of South Carolina Libraries reissue authoritative editions of out of print works by William Gilmore Simms, antebellum South Carolina’s preeminent man of letters. Each volume also includes a new scholarly introduction. This is a facsimile of the 1833 edition, with critical introduction by Jeffery J. Rogers and biographical overview by David Moltke-Hansen.
