商品簡介
Although the Civil War began in South Carolina, most of the fighting during the war took place in other theaters. Despite the 587-day bombardment of Charleston and the burning of the capital city of Columbia, some of the Palmetto State's greatest efforts centered around the care of the sick and wounded. With a penchant for preservation, many of the structures that served as hospitals still stand today. This book takes readers on a tour through history as it explores the cities, towns, and villages of South Carolina in search of the houses, churches, hotels, stores, college buildings, town halls and many other edifices that served as hospitals during the war. Packed with pictures both period and present-day, readers can locate and visit many of the sites today.
