Another newspaper with an image taken on James Island - probably from the 1970s.
Mike O'Donnell's grandfather, James O'Donnell Jr., owned James island from sometime in the 50’s up to 1976. Mike grew up hunting Sika deer, ducks and geese on the island and has many great memories from his time there. He "grew up on the island every waking moment during hunting seasons from 1968 to 1976" and has lots of photos of the island. Below is one of his photos.
