Good overview but with a good level of content to keep the interest going. I found myself as a local in Charleston for 13 years showing around friends and family and not really knowing a great deal on the history with the exception of the "First shots of the civil war" and a few vague Revolutionary war references as well such as Fort Moultrie against the British fleet in 1776. This is the book to read, digest and reference encompassing all the necessary highs and lows of Charleston history.

The book was very illuminating on the history of Charleston. Without wasting a lot of words on useless facts the book presents the interesting history of Charleston in a very entertaining manner.

Excellent, brief history of Charleston, a good companion for a visit to the city.

A great history of Charleston. We drove from Atlanta to Charleston and I read the book out loud to my husband as we went. Full of interesting and titillating gossip and history. One of the eye opening tidbits is that most of the white landowners could not grow a crop of anything until the slaves showed them how to grow and harvest rice and rice is what made them rich. You should read this before your next trip to better understand the history of this beautiful city.

This book was suggested by several of the docents on various tours (city walks, plantations and Fort Sumter) I took on a recent trip to Charleston. I skimmed it before going and then read certain chapters more carefully after visiting. The chapters on the Civil War were particularly engrossing.

This book was very helpful to me in being an information source for a book I am writing. It is concise and covers the main events in Charleston's history as well as providing details which are entertaining. I highly recommend it to those who are novice lovers of all things Charleston as well as those who have lived in this wonderful city.

I bought this when I was thinking of moving to charleston. It does a great job explaining the area and the legends surrounding it.

Great review of history before a visit to that beautiful city! Because of the storm, we put off our visit until things are back to normal!
