Work of Fiction by Darrell King mentions Daufuskie Island

-
Darrell King if D.C is a fiction writer who uses the names of real places to create a work of soap opera style "Ghetto" fiction. He as a writer is the equivalent of Tupac Shakur as a rapper. I am rather iritated that Darrell writes about Fripp Island being Georgia (we all know that's not true) and Daufuskie Island being the hide out for druglords and seedy types. The people that live on Daufuskie Island are some of the nicest most genuine people that I have ever met. You're car dies they stop to help, your cart dies they stop to help, everyone is very neighborly. Darrell should do more research on his next novel and maybe actually visit to get inspiration some of the real places that he mentions. Or he could be like the talented southern writer Pat Conroy who makes up the name "Yamacraw" Island in his famous book the "The Water is Wide", but maybe that is just too creative for Mr. King. I have copied tha actual pages of his book available on Amazon called "Mo Dirty" that mention my paradise Daufuskie Island. Keep in mind that these words are copywrited and this is just a general opinon of the novel a work of fiction. page 31 an' ever since David moved down to Daufuskie Island,…page 53 …Fuskie Krew brings da shit on a boat to Daufuskie Island, …page 57 ... assist Daufuskie Island's fledg- ling police force…page 58 …to ESPN after the report on Mickey O'Malley's Sea Island …page 59 …a pipe dream at best.

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals. Outfitters can help facilitate kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding or even horseback riding on the beach. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/travel/g44392660/best-places-to-travel-in-august/

The Story of Scrap Iron In the early 1900's more than 2000 black African Americans lived on Daufuskie Island. They made their living from the oyster beds that surrounded Daufuskie. Oysters were harvested, canned, and shipped all over the world. Progress came to Savannah, Georgia and factories were built along the Savannah River. The Savannah River was polluted and the pollution flowed into the oyster beds around Daufuskie. The Federal government condemned the harvesting of oysters on the Island and 2000 people were out of work in one day. The exodus began and the population dropped to around 100 people when I came to Daufuskie in the '70's. The people that stayed had to make a living another way and they all knew how to make a great corn liquor and the ladies made wines. The men would load the corn liquor in small oyster boats and row or sail it to Savannah. Sometimes it would take a day to get there. In early days they would get 5 dollars for 50 gallons, but it gav
