Rice Culture Is Lecture Topic
A botany professor at The Citadel
will lecture about rice culture in the
Carolinas Friday, Oct. 14, at the
Cape Fear Museum in Wilmington.
The last local crop of rice was
produced at Brunswick County's
Orton Plantation in the early 20th
century. Rice was one of the re
gion's leading crops from colonial
days until the first decade of the
20th century. Dependent on slave la
bor, it gradually faded out of exis
tence in the region after the Civil
War.
Dr. Richard Porcher's "Rice Cul
ture in the Carolinas" will begin at
11 a.m. as part of the Bit of History
lecture season. He will discuss the
economic and sociological factors
relating to the rise and fall of local
rice farming. The lecture is free and
open to the public.
Porcher, a native of Charleston,
S.C., holds a Ph.D. in biology from
the University of South Carolina. He
has taught botany at The Citadel
since 1970.
His publications include "Rice
Culture in South Carolina: A Brief
History, the Role of Huguenots and
Preservation of its Legacy," pub
lished in Transactions of the Hugue
not Society of South Carolina, and
"Geographies of the Past: Rice
Slaves and Technological Transfer
in South Carolina," published in
Southeastern Geographer. In 1970
he established the Citadel Herbar
ium and continues to serve as its di
rector and curator.
