Publisher Synopsis
"Kieran Taylor's book is an important lesson in the vagaries of history. Through official documents, priceless memories, and timely interviews, Taylor and his colleagues have shown the current generation of buoyant Charlestonians that prosperity has not always been 'necessarily so' in the Holy City. In 1931, Mayor Burnett Maybank declared Charleston to be 'dead broke.' This book is an important reminder of the poverty from which modern South Carolina arose."--Lawrence S. Rowland, distinguished professor emeritus, University of South Carolina, Beaufort Read more...
