Excerpt from Carlisle Memorial Volume From the day that Dr. James Henry Carlisle, South Carolina's greatest son, passed beyond the shadows I have felt that it would be an irreparable loss to the citizenship of the nation not to have some literary preservation of the story of his inspiring life. The good Doctor had expressed the wish that no biography of himself be published. This wish has been sacredly kept. After much deliberation I conceived the plan of this memorial volume, which, in a measure at least, preserves the remarkable story of Wofford's beacon light without violating his desire.
