"A Charleston Primer for Yankees" relates the dramatic story of Charleston, S.C., from its beginning to today. It focuses on Charleston's crucial role in the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Three maps help guide the reader's understanding of the city's incredible history.
The book gives Charleston both too much ("most important battle of the Revolution!") and not enough ("yeah, we started the Civil War, but...") credit. It's written with love, but for a historian, that's not enough.
