	HARRIET TUBMAN
		The Combahee strategy was formulated by Harriet Tubman as an outcome of her penetrations of the enemy lines and her belief that the Combahee River countryside was ripe for a successful invasion.
		The Combahee River, a narrow, jagged stream that ran about fifty miles into the interior of the State, began at the Sound: and on its banks were rice fields and marshes.
		The Negroes fled to the gunboats and the slavemasters skedaddled inland.

	South Carolina Aquarium Online Curriculum, 6th - 8th grade
		The Santee River Watershed is the largest area in South Carolina and extends from the Blue Ridge Mountains of South and North Carolina to the ocean in South Carolina.
		Smaller watersheds of rivers and streams, such as the Combahee, Edisto and Ashley River drainage basins, are situated entirely within the Coastal Plain of the state.
		Because a river's watershed may extend across an entire state, or even more than one state, if there is a contamination problem in that watershed, it is necessary to look at the entire watershed to determine where the contamination might be coming from.

	Sherpa Guides \| Southeast \| Aquatic Fauna In Peril \| Decline of a Diverse Fish Fauna: Patterns of Imperilment and ...
		For major river drainages of the Southeast, we pose three questions: is fish imperilment associated with drainage area, native fish taxa richness, endemism, or stream-type diversity; which of these variables are the best predictors of imperilment; and what are the implications of the identified predictors?
		For example, the highlands of the Tennessee-Cumberland, Southeastern Ohio River, and the Mobile Bay Basin regions were subjected to a series of complex, major geological vicariance events initiated in the pre-Pleistocene and as a result, were relatively isolated from much of the remaining diverse and widespread Central Highlands ichthyofauna (Mayden, 1988).
		The linear, unidirectional nature of rivers and streams is a singular attribute that dictates emphasis on whole-system approaches to management.

		She directed a raid up the Combahee River, taking the Confederates by surprise and destroying millions of dollars of property.
		Harriet herself was a bit offended, saying "Don't you think we colored people are entitled to some of the credit for that exploit?" The part she was proudest about though was not the raid itself but the fact that nearly every able male she helped to free that day enlisted in the Union Army.
