January
Meeting
On January 13, 2022, Dr.
Kelly Oberneufemann presented a program titled Eliza Lucas
Pinckney: 20th Century Woman in the 18th Century.
Dr. Obernuefemann is a Professor of History and the Coordinator
of History, Political Science, and Geography at Lewis and Clark Community
College. Her areas of expertise are American Social History, American Southern
History, and the American Civil War.
Eliza
Lucas Pinckney changed agriculture in colonial South Carolina, where she
developed indigo as one of its most important cash crops. Its cultivation and
processing as dye produced one-third the total value of the colony’s exports
before the Revolutionary War. Manager of three plantations, Mrs. Pinckney had a
major influence on the colonial economy.
Although the audience was very small, this
presentation was very well received and provoked questions and comments.
