Pee Dee

The Pee Dee region of South Carolina is the northeastern corner of the state. It is the area of the lower watershed of the Pee Dee River, named after the Pee Dee Native American tribe. Its center is Florence. It also encompasses the Grand Strand, which includes the beaches running from the North Carolina state line to the Winyah Bay in Georgetown County in South Carolina.

On the coast, the area is predominantly involved in tourism and resorts with beaches, amusement parks, shopping, fishing, and golf. The area has become a major retirement center in the United States, in part because of its low cost of living and its many golf courses. Inland is a belt featuring rivers, marshes, carolina bays and sandy rises where forestry is predominant, with pine plantations and baldcypress timbering.

Further inland, on higher ground, but still of only slight relief, is an agricultural belt of tobacco, cotton, soybeans and produce.

Florence, originally founded as a railroad center is a small, but growing center of production of pharmaceuticals, and other light industry. It is also known as a center of medical and dental care. The Pee Dee Region also produces paper, steel, and recreational vehicles.

Pee Dee people

The Pee Dee tribe (also spelled Pedee and Peedee) are a nation of American Indians of the southeast United States; their population is concentrated in the Piedmont of present-day South Carolina. Four tribes claiming Pee Dee descent have been officially recognized by the state since 2005; none has federal recognition. In the 17th and 18th centuries, English colonists named the Pee Dee River and the Pee Dee region of South Carolina for the nation.

The Pee Dee were part of the South Appalachian Mississippian culture that developed in the region as early as 980 CE, extending into present-day North Carolina and Tennessee. Their Town Creek Indian Mound and village site has been designated a National Historic Landmark, the only such landmark in North Carolina to commemorate an American Indian culture. Scholars are unsure of the Pee Dee language, although it was likely related to the Siouan languages, as were the languages of neighboring small tribes in the Piedmont region.

Pre-contact history

Pee Dee River

The Pee Dee River, also known as the Great Pee Dee River, is a river in North Carolina and South Carolina. It originates in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, where its upper course, above the mouth of the Uwharrie River is known as the Yadkin River. It is extensively dammed for flood control and hydroelectric power. The lower part of the river is named Pee Dee (in colonial times written Pedee) after the Native American Pee Dee tribe. The Pee Dee region of South Carolina, composed of the northeastern counties of the state, was named after the tribe and/or river. The first Europeans believed to have navigated part of the river was a party sent by Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1521. They named it "River of St. John the Baptist."

Navigable up to the fall line at Cheraw, the river was an important trade route through the Low Country from colonial times. The largest lumber company in the world existed at the turn of the 20th century near the river's mouth at Georgetown. The virgin pine forests of the Pee Dee region were cut over, and the logs floated in rafts downriver to be sawn into lumber and exported to the northern United States and Europe.

Liebst Du Mich?

by: Petra Frey

Hände weg
Hab ich gedacht
Doch du hast mich verrückt gemacht
Was soll das
Ich hab noch Zeit
Ich bin doch kein Spiel für dich
Komm versuchs
Du kriegst mich nicht
Was soll das
Ich weiß bescheit
Herzen die zum Himmel fliegen
Lassen sich so leicht belügen
Heut will ich von dir die Warheit hörn
Refrain:
Liebst du mich
Oder bleibts nur ein schöner Traum
Kann ich dir vertraun
Wirds für immer sein
Liebst du mich
Oder bleibts eine Illusion
Gehst du morgen schon
Kalt an mir vorbei
Bist du der auf den ich wart
Von dem ich träum
In jeder Nacht
Ich will dich
Ist das so schwer
Fühlst du es genau wie ich
Schau mich an
Belüg mich nicht
Komm sags mir
Ich will es hörn
Herzen die zum Himmel fleigen
Lassen sich so leicht belügen
Was soll ich nur tun
Ich hab dich gern
Refrain 2x
