Historical Cities-Charleston

This edition of the Historical Cities collection explores the city of Charleston, South Carolina. The proverbial powder keg of the American Civil War, Charleston also claims a rich history reaching back to the early days of the American colonies and beyond. Thirty-five historical sites and landmarks are laid out in the center of the city for a walking tour, and an additional 15 sites are described in the surrounding areas of James Island, Mount Pleasant, and along the Ashley River Road. Descriptions are derived from the extensive information provided in the American Guide Series of the 1930’s and 1940’s, and GPS coordinates are located at the end of the guide for the more technically proficient. This second edition contains text navigation and improved formatting.
