Review # 1 was written on 2019-03-25 00:00:00 David Dimas This book, from a small South Carolina press, doesn't have the polish of most nationally published works, but it was perfect for my purpose -- preparing me to visit Charleston next month. There was a lot of great historical information, as well as very specific details about 18th century homes and other sites in the city. I enjoyed the tangential information given in sidebars, the many sketches and photographs, and even the bibliography! Honestly, my favorite thing about the book was the pride the author took in his city, while owning both the good times and the bad. 3.5 stars.
