More about the book
Aiken, South Carolina, emerged as an unexpected winter retreat for prominent New York socialites like the Vanderbilts and Roosevelts from the late 1800s. This charming city became a hub for polo, riding, hunting, and golfing, establishing its reputation as an international polo capital. Rich in history, Aiken's restorative qualities were recognized by Native Americans, and it features notable landmarks such as the world's longest railroad from 1833 and the Palmetto Golf Club, the second-oldest 18-hole golf course in the U.S.
