The Last Foray, C. Gaston Davidson, SC Press – 1971
“Windsor plantation on Black river is so called because, like Windsor castle on the Thames, it, too, is located on the bend of a river. Windsor, a word which means “winding shore,” is suitable for this setting along the banks of twisting, curling Black river. The Trapier family made the plantation their home for generations.”
