RG134-03-03Description
A Nineteenth Century Diary of Greenville, South Carolina is a theatrical pageant written by Laura Smith Ebaugh and staged as a Ladies Aid Society benefit in 1900. Framed as a dramatized history, it presents five scenes from Greenville’s past—from its origins as Cherokee land and trading post through its growth into an intellectual and industrial center by 1900. Through historical tableaux, letters, diaries, and period songs, the play highlights key figures such as Vardry McBee, Benjamin Perry, and James C. Furman. It emphasizes Greenville's cultural evolution, civic spirit, and resilience through war, reconstruction, and industrialization.Collection
