Summary

Description
English: When South Carolina's first game wardens ventured afield in 1905, they focused on the illegal trapping of fish, which was especially rampant on the Edisto River. Public pressure had forced many trappers to remove their fish-catching devices, but that wasn't the end of the story. Warden L. Pressley Reeves of Reevesville in Dorchester County, who had been largely responsible for bringing the trapping to a halt, was shot to death by a hidden assassin in September 1908. A warrant was never issued in the case. Reeves death brought legislative attention to conservation issues that previously were viewed as being of little consequence by many South Carolinians.
