The Keowee Courier, a small weekly newspaper located in Walhalla, South Carolina, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, was founded in 1849 and has published continuously ever since then, except for a brief interruption of two or three years during the Civil War. In fact, the editor and publisher of the paper, Robert A. Thompson, was one of the signers of the ordinance of secession in 1860, whereby South Carolina seceded from the union. In fact, Mr. Thompsonwho later in life was awarded the honorary title of Colonelwas the last of the 160 signers to die, in 1914. This book contains highlights from the Keowee Courier during four representative years1888, 1907, 1911 and 1914. The author, long-time reporter/photographer/editor Ashton Hester, would like to compile another book or two, containing more years, if health and stamina permit.
