In 2019, the Memoir of Ethel Major Swinton was written and named, "Sweetgrass Lasts Forever" to honor her for the rich legacy of sweetgrass she left for her family. The description fit her and sweetgrass perfectly.
Ethel was not born into the craft but learned the art from her in-laws to supplement income. She taught her children and grandchildren the sweetgrass art to build wealth for generations.

Over forty-six years, Ethel began selling her baskets in the Charleston City Market. Today, both her eldest children continue to transport and sell their family members' baskets to be sold in the market. Her legacy lives on. four generations later. Sweetgrass does last forever.
