History's Lost Moments: The Stories Your Teacher Never Told You

About the Book

History’s Lost Moments: The Stories Your Teacher Never Told You is a collection of 100 stories, most of them celebrating Carolina lore and legend. There is no more romantic place in the country for history lovers than Charleston and the Lowcountry, and the moss-draped oaks conceal many tales of people and events that have never made it to the history books. Here you will find adventure and a deep insight into the passions that stirred a dozen generations to live in the forefront of current events. History’s Lost Moments is being published in response to numerous requests from readers of my weekly newspaper column. Enjoy!
