Foreword

One’s task in discussing Landmarks of Charleston isto describe the more outstanding from the beginningof Charles Town to this present year. It is an agreeabletask, but it leaves undone some things one wishes he haddone.

An Incomparable Stroll will give the visitor informationof people and places of Charles Town under the LordsProprietors, Charlestown under the Royal Government, andCharleston under the Republic.

The gardens which bring thousands of visitors to Charlestoneach spring are reached by excellent highways. MiddletonPlace and Magnolia-on-the-Ashley are on the AshleyRiver Road; Cypress off the Coastal Highway, United States52. These gardens are so different that they are not competitive,and the visitor questing for beauty that baffles descriptionshould see all three, and, time permitting, journey towardGeorgetown and enjoy the famous Belle Isle Gardens,on Winyah Bay.

In this work the index has been compiled with greatcare and should be consulted freely. Charleston’s pointsviof interest are too scattered to be grouped on a single route.Near Charleston are traces of fortifications used in theRevolution and in the War for Southern Independence.They are too numerous for individual enumeration. Bookshave been written about them.

From the building of the Colonial Powder Magazine tothe building of the Cooper River Bridge, the third highestvehicular bridge in the world, is a tremendous gap.

It is unnecessary to say that the author has consulted manyauthorities; his quotations suffice to reveal this.
