On the age-old streets of Charleston, the oft-forgotten enclaves of
the Holy City, the authors bring the reader face to face with a
group of orphans who haunt a College of Charleston dorm, a Citadel
cadet who haunts a local hotel and the specter of William Drayton
at Drayton Hall Plantation, to name just a few. Based on historical
events and specific details that are often lost in our general
notion of ghosts, each haunting encounter will send chills through
the reader's senses. From a bookstore phantom notorious for
rearranging the books in perfect vertical stacks, to a gruesome
nineteenth-century amputation taking place again in a medical
student's apartment, Macy and Buxton offer up stories and essays of
a nature more grim and morbid than ever heard of before. Complete
with over 30 black and white photographs.
Apache is the incredible true story of Ed Macy, a decorated Apache
helicopter pilot, that takes you inside the cockpit of the world's
most dangerous war machine. A firsthand account of the exhilaration
and ferocity of war, Apache chronicles a rescue mission involving a
stranded soldier in Afghanistan in 2007. Ed Macy had always dreamed
of a career in the army, so when the British Army Air Corps
launched its attack helicopter program, Ed bent every rule in the
book to make sure he was the first to sign up to fly the
Apache--the deadliest, most technically advanced helicopter in the
world and the toughest to fly. In 2007, Ed's Apache squadron was
dispatched to Afghanistan's notorious Helmand Province with the
mission to fight alongside and protect the men on the ground by any
means necessary. When a marine goes missing in action, Ed and his
team know they are the Army's only hope of bringing him back alive.
Apache is Macy's story--an adrenalin-fueled account of one of the
most daring actions of modern wartime, and a tale of courage,
danger, and comradeship you won't be able to put down.
