Science has not yet produced for us such a time machine, but the Federal Writers Project (FWP), a division of the Works Progress Administration, did produce for prosperity guides to all of the old 48 states. Using talented local researchers and writers the FWP created an image of America fifty plus years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reprint of the original, \u003ci\u003eSouth Carolina: The WPA Guide to the Palmetto State\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into three sections: 19 essays on a variety of topics ranging from history to cookery; detailed descriptions of the 11 towns in the state that had populations of more than 10,000; and 21 remarkably detailed guided tours to all sections of the state. In addition to the original chapters, there are two appendices--updated highway numbers for each tour and a guide to getting off the present Interstate Highway System and picking up the guided tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSouth Carolina's \u003ci\u003eGuide\u003c\/i\u003e is very much a product of its times. The essays and tours mince no words in describing the state's poverty or the reality of a world in which class and race played major roles. For those who have studied and taught South Carolina history, the old Guide has been an indispensable reference work. Parts of it may be dated to some jaded modern eyes; some phrases may be jarring to the post-1954 generation. However, the original \u003ci\u003eSouth Carolina: The WPA Guide to the Palmetto State\u003c\/i\u003e was what its cover claimed it to be.

Setting sail from New York harbour with 8,500 ground troops, a powerful British fleet swung south towards South Carolina. One year later, Charleston fell. And as King George′s forces pushed inland and upward, it appeared the six-year-old colonial rebellion was doomed to defeat. In a stunning work on forgotten history, acclaimed historian Walter Edgar takes the American Revolution far beyond Lexington and Concord to re-create the pivotal months in a nation′s savage struggle for freedom. It is a story of military brilliance and devastating human blunders - and the courage of an impossibly outnumbered force of demoralised patriots who suffered terribly at the hands of a merciless enemy, yet slowly gained confidence through a series of small triumphs that convinced them their war could be won. Alive with incident and colour. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50761948201233,"sku":"CIN0380977605VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51415760175377,"sku":"CIN0380977605G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0380977605.jpg?v=1751260743"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-walter-b-edgar.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
