Over time\, the competition developed into a feud and progressed to the point where a challenge to a duel was issued. One of the young men was very intelligent and highly educated. The other was a simple farmer. The challenge led to the death of one of these young men. One was the writer’s great-grandfather. The writer was told this story over a half century ago by his grandfather. He feels that the story must be told so that others may learn what arrogance\, obstinance\, and vanity can lead to. \nCost: $5.00

Hilton led an exploration of the Port Royal Sound area\, where he named Hilton Head Island as a navigational marker for future sailors. The island began as a sparsely populated area on the fringe of English settlement in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries\, when it was called Trench’s Island on some maps. Author Dwayne W. Pickett details the life of Hilton\, his exploration of the Carolina coast and the founding of an iconic island.  \nCost – $5.00

SUMMARY:We the People: Artist Mary Whyte in Conversation with ETV’s Holly Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Launching this year’s 5th annual Pat Conroy Literary Festival\, in partnership with Crescendo\, the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host a free virtual conversation between acclaimed artist and author Mary Whyte and ETV Lowcountry’s Holly Jackson\, host of By the River. Whyte will be discussing her seventh book\, We the People: Portraits of Veterans in America\, which has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and is also the subject of a nationally touring art exhibition. This special event will be held on Zoom\, with free advance registration required. (A video recording will be posted to the Conroy Center’s Facebook page and YouTube channel thereafter.) \nRegister for this free virtual event at: https://bit.ly/3lQbS6M \nAbout We the People \nWe the people–these words embody the ethos of what it means to be an American citizen. As individuals we are a tapestry of colors and creeds; united we are a nation committed to preserving our hard-earned freedom. In this heart-stirring collection of watercolor portraits of military veterans–one from each of the fifty states–artist Mary Whyte captures this ethos as well as the dedication\, responsibility\, and courage it takes to fulfill that promise. \nThose who raise their hands to serve may join for different reasons\, but all–along with their families–make the extraordinary commitment to place the needs of the country before their own. Whyte gives us the opportunity to meet and to see some of them–to really see them. Whyte’s portrait of America includes individuals from many walks of life\, some still active duty\, and from every branch: women and men\, old and young\, and from a wide swath of ethnicities\, befitting our glorious melting pot. From a mayor to an astronaut\, from a teacher to a garbage collector\, from a business entrepreneur to someone who is homeless\, Whyte renders their unique and exceptional lives with great care and gentle brush strokes. \nWe the People is not only a tour across and through these vast United States\, it is a tour through the heart and soul\, the duty and the commitment of the people who protect not only our Constitution and our country but our very lives. We can only be deeply grateful\, inspired\, and humbled by all of them. All royalties will benefit the Patriot Art Foundation. \n \nAbout our Presenter \nMary Whyte is an American figurative artist known internationally for her watercolors of contemporary people. Her works are in private\, corporate\, university and public collections nationwide\, and have been featured in numerous media outlets including CBS Sunday Morning\, PBS and NPR. In 2013\, Whyte was one of ten artists worldwide invited to travel to China and exhibit her watercolors at the Nanning Art Museum in Nanning\, Guangxi. \nThe author of seven books\, including most recently We the People: Portraits of Veterans in America\, Whyte and her work have also been featured in many international publications\, including periodicals and books in China\, Russia\, France\, Germany\, Canada and Taiwan. She is the recipient of numerous awards\, including the Portrait Society of America’s Gold Medal\, the Carolinas Freedom Foundation’s Freedom Award\, and the Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Award\, South Carolina’s highest honor in the arts.
