History's Lost Moments: The Stories Your Teacher Never Told You

Dr. Tom Horton writes history in the same folksy manner that he's known for across the state in his banquet addresses. The stories he tells are the ones that he heard from the old folks as he was growing up partly on the Lowcountry coast and partly in the Upstate. Few people know the lore of South Carolina as well as he does, and no one can tell the stories better than he! Volume III continues in the same tradition as he began in Volumes I and II. There's more to come!
