About Tehrkot Media: named after Tarcote Swamp (pronounced TEHR-kote) near Manning, South Carolina, Tehrkot Media is an historic photographic records company dedicated to bringing both the history of photography as well as the history of the world to a wider eye. The name dates from the Revolutionary War when Francis Marion’s men were chasing Redcoats through the swamp. The story handed down is that one of the retreating British soldiers tore his coat, leaving a part on some briars and thorns - thus the original name Tear Coat Swamp.
