Toss out the essays, forget the boring lectures and don't worry
about memorizing dates. Take a tour through the history of South
Carolina, the South and the entire nation with this collection of
forgotten moments.
Dr. Tom Horton has sifted through the diary entries, old
newspaper accounts and textbooks so you can make sense of it all.
You'll discover: How a contingent of Carolinians, led by Joseph
Brevard Kershaw of Camden, failure to seize Little Round Top
perhaps led to the end of the Civil War. Why leading cabinet and
furniture maker William Enston of Charleston should be in any
pantheon of leading philanthropists. How Thomas Pinckney, a
respected soldier, governor, diplomat and even presidential
candidate, became America's forgotten founding father. And much
more, including the little-told stories of why Napoleon's
sister-in-law was an American Hussy, why Indian fighters made the
best Civil War Generals and what made John Rutledge so special.
It's all collected in one book, and it's a must-read for anyone who
wants to understand how History's Lost Moments helped shape the
world as it is today.
