Landmarks of Charleston / Including Description of an Incomparable Stroll

The work combines a concise civic history with a practical guide to the city’s principal sites, offering both narrative context and visitor-oriented detail. It surveys founding and development, then describes churches, public buildings, grand homes, plantation gardens, waterfront views, and surviving fortifications. An arranged stroll and a separate guide section present recommended routes and individual-site notes, often accompanied by illustrations. A careful index and measured travel advice support readers interested in architectural, horticultural, and historical highlights without presuming specialized knowledge.
