Dear Robert, The Sampit as well as the other rivers emptying into Waccamaw Bay have been amongst the most productive hunting waters in eastern USA. My family has hunted those waters for centuries. The Santee Club was near-by and included many Northern sports who came for the shooting. Your pictures reveal a part of that shooting arranged for visiting sportsmen. As the area was economically flat on its back, locals could not afford steam yachts and the like. It was a tourism business and all were glad to get it. There were some very colorful people who infested the area and the tales are interesting and long. My people were from Charleston but included Georgetown and they were sportsmen. David
