The story of the Santee is, in fact, the story of a major part of the Carolinas east of the Appalachians, for the river drains an immense area of both states from the mountains to the ocean. Savage also describes fully the change-over from the agricultural Old South to the industrial New South, a change sparked largely by the hydroelectric power of the Santee.
