Fortenberry tackles and attempts to separate fact from fiction in this engaging and well-researched book about the historic, deadly, and maybe even haunted Seaside Plantation on Edisto Island, South Carolina, where John McConkey was brutally murdered in 1915.McConkey wasn't the first of his family to die at Seaside. It is also where one of his sisters burned to death, another may have committed suicide, and a brother also mysteriously died.As many as five generations of the wealthy and aristocratic Edings family lived and died at Seaside before the McConkeys ever stepped foot on the land of slow-moving creeks and salty brown-and-green sea marshes. For centuries, Seaside’s owners cultivated Sea Island cotton and grew fabulously wealthy on the backs of slave labor.
