A Short History Of Charleston |
Robert N. Rosen's A Short History
of Charleston has been hailed by critics, historians,
and especially Charlestonians as authoritative, witty, and
entertaining. Packed with anecdotes and enlivened by passages
from diaries and letters, the fast-paced narrative recounts
the port city's role in such signal events as the American
Revolution, secession, and the Civil War. |

"Sprightly and entertaining. . . . Robert
Rosen has captured the flavor and flair
of Charleston as few writers have been able
to do."—The
Post & Courier, Charleston, South Carolina
"Rosen is alert to the ironies and idiosyncrasies of his native
city, and he writes of personalities and events with an easy,
knowing hand, neither boastfully nor regretfully."—The
State, Columbia, South
Carolina |
