- Caption
- SC – Mid-Combahee. This bridge is named after Harriet Tubman who in 1863 launched an exercise with Union forces that freed 800 people in one day. It also illustrates a beautiful stretch of fairly well-preserved fields. Rice cultivation basically ended at the conclusion of the Civil War. –Description from photographer, David Soliday.
- Description
- A digital aerial photograph depicting a meander along a section of the Combahee River. The river appears deep blue against the surrounding light brown flatlands. Remnant dikes and canals make patters in the grass, while a tree-lined canal follows the river’s flow, creating an outline in the grass. To the far left, the Harriet Tubman Bridge rises above the river, supported by several beams underneath it.
