“At the period alluded to in their voyages to the city they were wont to beguile the time and the toil of rowing with songs and extravagant vociferations, and were accustomed to devote their holidays to dancing, dissipation and irregularities often to the prejudice of their health and destruction of their lives.”
[The History of South-Carolina: From Its First Settlement in 1670, to the Year 1808. Vol.2, Ramsay, 1809]
