A Short History of Charleston

Robert Rosen does a masterful job of telling Charleston’s history complete with its blemishes and beauty. This is a great read. I wished for color photos.

-A fabulous book full of information. It is well written and easy to read.-A must for anyone who lives in Charleston or wants to visit.I highly recommend it!

Living here you take this City for granted sometimes. After reading this book the history makes you want to go stand in those places. Great for exploring the Holy City.

A strong conversational style book about the events and people that have shaped Charleston. It reads like you are having dinner with someone who really understands hw Charleston came to be and where it is at today in 2022. While the past takes center stage the final chapter about the last 50 years really helps bridge the gap with what is happening today. I chose this book to help give context to a vacation in Charleston and it helped add color.

Reads kind of like a book report
