GREAT PHOTO HISTORY OF CAMDEN, SC,
By
This review is from: South Carolina Postcards, Vol. VIII: Camden (SC) (Postcard History Series) (Paperback)
This book captures the history of Camden, SC from the late 1800s to the 1960s. It covers every aspect of life in Camden; school buildings, the changes in downtown area, the people of Camden, and the list goes on.
I teach American History in Camden and the book has proved to be interesting to my classes since most are amazed that Camden and Kershaw County existed before they were born.
