To Hear Them Tell It |
Walking History Book Although written for those interested in touring the city by foot, this book is just as useful for readers wanting a handy, easy-to-read reference to enjoy from home. It is a resource for those well-read on the subject as well as for those who remember no more about the topic than what they learned in high school. This book features four different tours (or chapters), enabling readers to choose multiple areas of the city to explore or simply read about. Over 100 photographs of the buildings and a plethora of anecdotal information help the reader learn about Charleston's Civil War history in a way unlike any traditional history book. In the words of one historian, "the author does an excellent job in setting up fascinating tours that help tell the tale of Charleston from 1860 to 1865." | |||
