Book Description
Excerpt from The South Since the War: As Shown by Fourteen Weeks of Travel and Observation in Georgia and the Carolinas The mills Of the gods grind Slow, but they grind exceed ing small. Be sure Charleston knows what these words mean. Be sure the pride of the eyes Of these men and women has been laid low. Be sure they have eaten worm wood, and their Souls have worn sackcloth. God's ways seem dark, but soon or late they touch the Shining hills of day. Henceforth let us rest content in this faith; for here is enough Of woe and want and ruin and ravage to satisfy the most insatiate heart, enough of sore humiliation and bitter overthrow to appease the desire of the most vengeful spirit.

Book Description
Travelers' accounts of the people, culture, and politics of the Southern coastal region after the Civil War Charleston is one of the most intriguing of American cities, a unique combination of quaint streets, historic architecture, picturesque gardens, and age-old tradition, embroidered with a vivid cultural, literary, and social history. It is a city of contrasts and controversy as well. To trace a documentary history of Charleston from the postbellum era into the twentieth century is to encounter an ever-shifting but consistently alluring landscape. In this collection, ranging from 1865 to 1947, correspondents, travelers, tourists, and other visitors describe all aspects of the city as they encounter it. Sojourns in Charleston begins after the Civil War, when northern journalists flocked south to report on the "city of desolation" and ruin, continues through Reconstruction, and then moves into the era when national magazine writers began to promote the region as a paradise. From there twentieth-century accounts document a wide range of topics, from the living conditions of African Americans to the creation of cultural institutions that supported preservation and tourism. The most recognizable of the writers include author Owen Wister, novelist William Dean Howells, artist Norman Rockwell, Boston poet Amy Lowell, novelist and Zionist leader Ludwig Lewisohn, poet May Sarton, novelist Glenway Wescott on British author Somerset Maugham in the lowcountry, and French philosopher and writer Simone de Beauvoir. Their varied viewpoints help weave a beautiful tapestry of narratives that reveal the fascinating and evocative history that made this great city what it is today.
