In 1739, Major George Lucas moved from Antigua to Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife and two daughters. Soon after their arrival, he was recalled to Antigua to join his regiment, leaving his daughter Eliza in charge of his three plantations. This biography, drawn from her surviving letters and other sources, chronicles Eliza Pickney's life and explores the 18th century world she inhabited.
