ossabaw

This Ossabaw Spirit is represented as a woman. Many women have been influential on this island -
from Mary Musgrove, Indian princess....
to Mary Morel, as wife of the first settler,
she harbored loyal patriots, and
survived attacks by the British...
to Eleanor "Sandy" West who strives to
protect everything on her island.
A favorite companion is this little Ossabaw Pig*.
It's lineage remains pure from those
brought to the Island by the Spaniards.
It shadows Miss Ossabaw while she collects sponges from the beach.
