Overview

Excerpt from Health and Profit: As Found in the Hilly Pine Region or Georgia South Carolina: Together With an Account of Its Horticultural, and Manufacturing Resources, Topography, Geology, Botany, and Climatology of the Region The following pages treat of the Sand Hill region of South Carolina and Georgia. They have been written at the request of Northern friends of the writer, who appreciate properly the benefits to be derived by consumptives from the invigorating temperature of its dry and mild Winter climate. Resembling in many respects the Indian Sum mer of New York and Pennsylvania, the tempera ture of this region does not depress the invalid by its cold, nor exercise, in the Spring, the enervating influence so much complained of by those who pro long their stay into the early Spring months of the regions farther South, along the coast or in the interior of Florida. The coldest days are generally in the months of December and January, and it is seldom that the thermometer marks at sunrise lower than 28 or 30 Fah. So seldom, indeed, is ice formed at night, visible at the middle of the next day, that the occur rence excites the comments of the native residents.
