A lively chronicle of the South’s most renowned city from the founding of colonial Charles Town through the present day
A Short History of Charleston—a lively chronicle of the South’s most renowned and charming city—has been hailed by critics, historians, and especially Charlestonians as authoritative, witty, and entertaining. Beginning with the founding of colonial Charles Town and ending three hundred and fifty years later in the present day, Robert Rosen’s fast-paced narrative takes the reader on a journey through the city’s complicated history as a port to English settlers, a bloodstained battlefield, and a picturesque vacation mecca. Packed with anecdotes and enlivened by passages from diaries and letters, A Short History of Charleston recounts in vivid detail the port city’s development from an outpost of the British Empire to a bustling, modern city.
This revised and expanded edition includes a new final chapter on the decades since Joseph Riley was first elected mayor in 1975 through its rapid development in geographic size, population, and cultural importance. Rosen contemplates both the city’s triumphs and its challenges, allowing readers to consider how Charleston’s past has shaped its present and will continue to shape its future.
