Author Herb Frazier can still picture the scene in his mind. It took place about 15 years ago, when he was conducting research for his book, “Behind God’s Back: Gullah Memories — Cainhoy, Wando, Huger, Daniel Island, St. Thomas Island, South Carolina.”
Frazier was visiting the home of Cainhoy peninsula native Harold Lincoln Sr., who was then nearing his 93rd birthday. Lincoln had spent his whole life in the tight-knit Jack Primus community, located off Clements Ferry Road, and Frazier was eager to hear his stories of days gone by.
