Throughout the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Great Depression, Charleston and other seaside towns along South Carolina?s coast were fertile ground for art, music, and opportunity. It?s no wonder the region has drawn famous characters for hundreds of years, from political leaders (George Washington; Thomas Heyward, Jr.; John C. Calhoun) to pirates (Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard), and the artists, writers, musicians, and architects who ushered in the Charleston Renaissance in the twentieth century.
Take a journey through Charleston?s past with a look at the talented people and inspiring events that shaped the city and surrounding region into a cultural mecca of art, music, dance, and design. Each chapter features an itinerary for a walking/driving tour to help readers appreciate the lesser-known side of Charleston?s entertaining past.
