Synopsis:
Much has happened in South Carolina throughout its checkered three hundred year history. It Happened in South Carolina goes behind-the-scenes to tell its story, in over 30 short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Palmetto State. • Discover the escapades of “Gentleman Pirate” Stede Bonnet, who terrorized the coastline alongside the notorious Blackbeard. • Make the acquaintance of young Eliza Lucas, who changed the course of American history when she took charge of the family plantation at the tender age of sixteen. • Learn about the famous Haile Gold Mine, at one time the most successful producer of gold east of the Mississippi River. • Learn how the Jenkins Orphanage Band originated the dance craze known as the Charleston.
About the Author: Lee Davis Perry was raised in Charleston and returned there in 1987 to focus on a freelance marketing and advertising career. J. Michael McLaughlin has been living in and writing about the Lowcountry for more than twenty years.
