A native of Hilton Head Island, Louise Miller Cohen is able to trace her island roots back into the 1800s. Her homeplace still stands on property owned by her great grandfather – property purchased soon after the Civil War. Cohen grew up at the knees of her Gullah relatives, listening to the stories and hearing the unique language. She vividly remembers life on Hilton Head Island “before the bridge.”
