It is said that from the tops of the highest buildings in Charleston come under the eye more historic places than come under it from any other point in the United States. The book tells the history of those places. The Charles Town that was and the Charleston this is are brought before the reader. Names of eminent Carolinians pass in review and the greatness of the lustrous past is linked with the present.
In Charleston survive scars of wars and storms and fires that raged in the long ago. It has had part in Indian, Spanish and French wars. It has had bold adventure with pirates. It was conspicuous in the Revolution and in the War for Southern Independence.
The fame of Middleton Place, Magnolia, and Cypress gardens is world-wide. Annually thousands of people visit Charleston to walk about these wonderful gardens that are a living reminder of the beauty wrought before the American Revolution.
