Port Royal, Beaufort Cty, South Carolina

Account
Dean Poucher and several others went by boat to hunt deer on Olds Island. Their hounds refused to leave the boat. Poucher and another hunter saw similar tracks at opposite ends of the island, Poucher's in mud and marsh grass at the south end, the other man's in hard sand at the north end. (Old Island is not on any map I have. Locations for 1830-1-2 are approximate.)
