Reader Reviews
We were, there in this wonderful, historic southern gem on vacation. In a wonderful, large, bookstore, we inquired, what book if you want to learn more about the history. This is it, the local experts said. It is, well written from the beginnings of Charles Town up to Hurrican Hugo, the prose is lively and attention keeping. Especially to be enjoyed is the side-bar entries of primarily people and architecture which add much to the verbal discussion going on the page. To go further in study, the author provides this wisdom: "there appear to me to be more bad books written about Charleston than just about any subject I know." So he lists those he knows are worthy and recommended on each time period. Helpful!
