William Elliott (writer)

William Elliott (1788 – 1863) was born in Beaufort, South Carolina. After graduating from Harvard, he returned to South Carolina. Except for some early incursions into politics, he chiefly devoted himself to the management of his estates, and, as a writer and lecturer on agriculture and other subjects, became widely known. He contributed to one of the newspapers of Charleston, South Carolina the series of sporting sketches which were collected and published in 1846 under the title of "Carolina Sports by Land and Water". He died in Charleston in 1863.cite book | last =Fulton | first =Maurice Garland | authorlink = | title =Southern Life in Southern Literature | publisher =Kessinger Publishing | date =1917 | pages =19 | url =http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN0766146243&id=VR3RlmT521QC&printsec=frontcover | isbn =0766146243 ]
