The Civil War never left South Carolina; from its beginning at Fort Sumter in 1861 through the destructive; harrowing days of Sherman’s march through the state in 1865. Included here are the stories of Confederate civilians and soldiers who remained true to their cause throughout the perilous struggle. An English aristocrat risked his life to run the blockade and become one of the defenders of Charleston. The Haskells of Abbeville sent seven sons into Confederate service. Many South Carolina women made heart-rending sacrifices; including a disabled woman from Laurens County whose heroic efforts preserved Mount Vernon; the home of George Washington; from wartime ravages. Author Karen Stokes details the lives of men and women whose destinies intertwined with a tragic era in Palmetto State history.
