Lynn Michelsohn, Author of Tales from Brookgreen

In 1695 William Green, a blacksmith in the new Carolina settlement of Charles Town, purchased his first land in the Lowcountry. For more than three hundred years, his descendents have continued to live along the Carolina coast.

Lynn Michelsohn, his ninth generation granddaughter, was born in Durham, North Carolina. She grew up steeped in Lowcountry stories, as well as in the black mud of its tidal marshes. Her heart remains among the moss-draped live oaks that line the creeks and marshes of South Carolina’s Waccamaw Neck. She and her husband, an attorney, have two sons who love the Lowcountry almost as much as she does.

In Tales from Brookgreen this native Carolinian retells stories from two early hostesses at Brookgreen Gardens, Mrs. Genevieve Wilcox Chandler and Lynn Michelsohn’s cousin, Miss Corrie Dusenbury. Through these stories she conveys her sense of the romance, history, and mystery hidden just beneath the serenely beautiful surface of Brookgreen Gardens, one of South Carolina’s most popular tourist attractions.
