The Story of the Reedy RiverEntry/Object ID
RG134-05-10Description
Henry Bacon McKoy’s The Story of Reedy River traces the humble origins, historical importance, and cultural significance of the Reedy River, which rises near Travelers Rest and flows through Greenville. The river fueled mills, industry, and settlement—most notably by Richard Pearis and Vardry McBee—and inspired romance, poetry, and community traditions. Landmarks like Reedy River Falls, Springwood Cemetery, and old baptismal pools mark its course. Once vital to Greenville’s development, the river shaped its economic, spiritual, and recreational life. McKoy ends by urging readers to honor its legacy, reminding us that “not all gold glitters”—some of it flows.Collection
