William Tennent III: Journal/Diary and Album of Collected Papers [http://www.sc.edu/library/digital/collections/tennent.html ] - The life of William Tennent III may not be well known to many outside of South Carolina, but it is a life that is quite well served by this recent digitization project created by the University of South Carolina Library. Tennent was first a Presbyterian minister in the colonies of New Jersey and Connecticut in the middle of the 18th century before he arrived in Charleston to minister to a new flock of adherents. The collection offered here documents his travel through the "Up Country" of South Carolina in 1775 utilizing Tennent's journal. The site also offers his album of papers from his time in the various colonies. Visitors can browse through the travel journal by locations or date, and they should also read an essay about the political situation in South Carolina at the time, written b y L.L. Owens. >From The Scout Report, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2007. http://scout.wisc.edu/
