Caption
SC – Combahee River. This unfortunately is a low-res image but illustrates the storms that so often threatened the slaves. For the most part, they had little shelter in the fields often miles from safety. This is photographed on 17S crossing the Combahee River. –Description from photographer, David Soliday.
