"The SCHM reaches a large scholarly audience. Our journal has nearly three thousand subscribers, including more than five hundred libraries, and circulates to forty-six U.S. states as well as seven foreign countries. So this review will receive extensive exposure. It will be archived on the Historical Society's website and in JSTOR's online database too, making it even more widely accessible.Do not be confused by the cover date for this issue, which says July 2017. This is correct. The South Carolina Historical Society ran into a major snag with funding when our publishing partner, the College of Charleston, changed presidents several years ago. The new administration did not honor the previous one's commitment to sponsor the SCHM. The Historical Society was not prepared to cover the significant budget shortfalls, so we had to suspend our regular publication schedule for a while. We have been running behind ever since. After encountering one final hurdle last summer, the partnership is now back on track, and we will be publishing several issues over the next few months. We hope to be caught up completely, or nearly so, by the end of next year."--Matthew Lockhart, ed. SCHM
