5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, October 18, 2008

By	Alston Jones "crazy larry" (Atlanta, Ga) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just purchased this book and have found it to be already invaluable in appreciating antebellum Charleston for what it was and understanding modern Charleston and its nostalgic nature. As a Charlestonian who grew up in the heart of the old city, this book has given me insight into a world I should have been more familiar with. Im sure any Charleston or American History enthusiast would want this book.
