In partnership with the University of South Carolina Press, the Simms Initiatives at the University of South Carolina Libraries reissue authoritative editions of out of print works by William Gilmore Simms, antebellum South Carolina's preeminent man of letters. Each volume also includes a new scholarly introduction. This is a facsimile of the original editions, with introductions and explanatory notes and texts established by John Caldwell Guilds.
