In 1663, William Hilton, a mariner born in England, was hired by a group in Barbados to find new lands for them to settle.  Hilton led an exploration of the Port Royal Sound area, where he named Hilton Head Island as a navigational marker for future sailors.  The island began as a sparsely populated area on the fringe of English settlement in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, when it was called Trench&#x27;s Island on some maps.  Author Dwayne W. Pickett details the life of Hilton, his exploration of the Carolina coast and the founding of an iconic island. </p><p>Cost - $5.00</p>
