Sites of the American Revolution in SC Part 2: Camden SC
The City of Camden South Carolina is the oldest inland city in the state. During the American Revolution, a Patriot force under General Horatio Gates was defeated by the British Army led by General Cornwallis. The city and people of Camden have gone to great lengths to preserve their history and ties to the Revolution, such as the preservation of the Battle of Camden Battlefield near Gum Swamp, the reconstruction of the Kershaw/Cornwallis House, and the preservation of some of the battle site of Hobkirk's Hill.
Special thanks to Camden Archives and Museum for allowing me to video inside their building. All images inside their premises were recorded and are used with their permission.

The First 100 (part one)
During the summers of 1964 and 1965, student volunteers from campuses across the state--men and women, black and white--worked together on antipoverty projects sponsored by Fund-supported community action agencies. One hundred volunteers served in 1964, followed by another 250 in 1965. The Fund produced this film to document the experiences of the first 100″ and to inform the public about their antipoverty efforts. The national VISTA program (Volunteers in Service to America) was modeled on the North Carolina Volunteers. The Fund trained the first group of VISTA workers in 1966.

Aiken-Rhett House Museum Historic Charleston foundation
The Aiken-Rhett House Museum, 48 Elizabeth Street, c. 1820, is unique in many ways. For example, it remained in the hands of family descendents for 142 years until it was sold to The Charleston Museum and opened as a museum house in 1975. Historic Charleston Foundation purchased the house in 1995 and adopted a conservation approach to the interpretation of this important house and its outbuildings.
Located on the corner of Judith and Elizabeth streets, Charleston merchant John Robinson built the house in 1820 as a typical Charleston double house with a central hallway and two rooms on either side. The original front entrance was located on Judith Street, where the piazza, a Charleston term for a double side porch, is now located. When Robinson lost five ships at sea in 1825, he was forced to sell the house to meet his financial obligations. Subsequently, it became the property of William Aiken Sr. in 1827.
Aiken, an Irish immigrant who had accumulated a large fortune as one of the city’s leading merchants, used the house as a rental property. When he died suddenly in a carriage accident, his vast holdings were divided between his wife, Henrietta Wyatt Aiken, and his only son, William Aiken Jr.
In 1833, the young William Aiken and his new bride, Harriet Lowndes, decided to make the house their primary residence. They began an extensive renovation of the property. Three main changes took place: the front entrance was moved, the first floor was reconfigured, and a large addition was built onto the house. By all accounts, they created one of the most impressive residences in Charleston.
A successful businessman, rice planter, distinguished politician and governor of South Carolina, William Aiken Jr. was one of the state’s wealthiest citizens. Following a well-established tradition among Charleston’s elite, Governor Aiken and his wife traveled in Europe and returned with magnificent fine art and furnishings. In 1858, while abroad, Governor Aiken commissioned his cousin, Joseph Daniel Aiken, to design and oversee the construction of an art gallery, the only one of its kind in the city. Today, many of the objects acquired by the Aikens on their travels remain in the rooms for which they were purchased.
The Aiken family library, containing more than 2000 volumes mostly published in the 1800s, has recently been transferred to the Charleston Library Society archives and placed on long-term loan. Many of the books are signed by family members and were purchased on their travels through Europe.
Prior to the Civil War, the Aiken-Rhett House was maintained by a population of highly skilled enslaved African Americans who worked to sustain the Aikens’ high standards for elegant living and entertaining. Occupations within the household included carriage drivers, cooks, footmen, gardeners, laundresses, nursemaids, and seamstresses. A post Civil War document reveals the names of 14 slaves that lived at the Aiken-Rhett House and attended the family: Tom and Ann Greggs, and their son, Henry; Dorcas and Sambo Richardson and their children, Charles, Rachel, Victoria, Elizabeth, and Julia; Charles Jackson, Anthony Barnwell, and two carpenters, Will and Jacob. Many of these individuals remained in Charleston following Emancipation, and Jacob Gaillard and Henry Greggs lived and worked at the Aiken-Rhett House until their deaths in 1896 and 1908.
The back lot of the Aiken-Rhett House is where the slaves worked and lived, and they probably took their meals communally in the kitchen. A unique site, the Aiken-Rhett House retains both original outbuildings. One is the kitchen and laundry and the other a carriage and stable house, above which are found sleeping quarters. Many of the rooms had fireplaces, and paint evidence suggests these rooms were painted vibrant colors.
William Aiken, Jr. died at his summer home in Flat Rock, North Carolina, in 1887. He left his property to his wife and daughter. Harriet Aiken continued to live in the house until her death in 1892. Her daughter, Henrietta, and son-in-law, Major A.B. Rhett, raised their four sons and one daughter in the house. Upon Henrietta’s death, the house was divided between her children and their heirs. Two sons, I’On Rhett and Andrew Burnet Rhett, Jr. continued to live in the house until the mid twentieth century.
The Aiken-Rhett House is open, Mon-Sat, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sun, 2-5 p.m. (last tour begins at 4:15 p.m.).
Tickets are $12 adults; $5 children 6-16; under six free.
Visitors who are interested in visiting the Aiken-Rhett and the Nathaniel Russell House Museums can save $6 on adult tickets by purchasing a combination ticket. Tickets are redeemable for six months from purchase date and do not need to be used on the same day. Consider visiting both museums to experience the unique and different preservation methods at work in each museum.
American Revolution and the Alston House
In the summer and spring, bright flowers surround this white plantation house whose name comes from its location on a horseshoe bend in the The Deep River. The house (ca. 1770) was first owned by Philip Alston, whose band of Whigs was attacked in 1781 by Tories led by David Fanning. Later, four-term North Carolina governor Benjamin Williams lived in the house, which today features fine antiques of the colonial and Revolutionary War eras.

William Aiken House and Associated Railroad Structures is a historic district in Charleston, South Carolina, that contains structures of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company and the home of the company's founder, William Aiken. These structures are considered nationally significant in relation to the history of the development of the railroad industry in the United States.
William Aiken:
The South Carolina Department of Archives and History states that the structures in this district represent the best extant collection of antebellum railroad structures illustrating the development of an early railroad terminal facility. The railroad company with which they are associated was the first to use steam from the beginning of its operations, use an American-made locomotive, and carry U.S. mail. When it began operation in 1833 it had the greatest length of track in the world under single management.
The district was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1963. Contributing structures in the district include:
William Aiken House, built in 1807. An octagonal wing added in 1831 but damaged in 1886 earthquake, and certain woodwork was removed in 1931. A servants wing is unchanged.
A coach house at the back of gardens on the William Aiken House property
Camden Depot, a railroad depot
Deans Warehouse, built in 1856
South Carolina Railroad Warehouse
Tower Passenger Depot
Line Street Car and Carpenter Shops
Railroad Right-of-Way
Best Friend of Charleston Replica, a replica of the first American-made steam locomotive.
In 1844, The Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad Company and The South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company were merged under an act of the South Carolina General Assembly of December 19, 1843 as the South Carolina Railroad Company. ~ Source Wikipedia:

Summer of the Star (9781432826307)
Wreaths of Glory (9781432827021)
Greasy Grass (9781432827106)
Poison Spring (9781432827656)
That was the year we had no food. It's the spring of 1864, and times are hard in Washington County, Arkansas, especially for thirteen-year-old Travis Ford. He hasn't heard from his father, a sergeant in the 2nd Arkansas Cavalry, in months. His mother is struggling to make ends meet on the family farm and abandoned sawmill near Poison Spring. All Travis really wants to do is to follow his passion—make up adventure stories in the style of Alexandre Dumas. But the Civil War keeps getting in his way. Since his mother hails from Illinois and has Abolitionist leanings, the Ford family—including Travis's twin sister, Edith, and their seven-year-old brother, Baby Hugh—has few friends to turn to for help, only eccentric Miss Mary Frederick, who owns a cotton plantation down the road, and Uncle Willard Ford, a slave trader in nearby Camden. For the most part, Anna Louella Ford and her children find themselves alone, and they are about to become even more isolated.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Johnny D. Boggs has worked cattle, shot rapids in a canoe, hiked across mountains and deserts, traipsed around ghost towns, and spent hours poring over microfilm in library archives—all in the name of finding a good story. He's also one of the few Western writers to have won six Spur Awards from Western Writers of America and the Western Heritage Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. A native of South Carolina, Boggs spent almost fifteen years in Texas as a journalist. Boggs now lives with his wife Lisa and son Jack in Santa Fe. His website is johnnydboggs.com. Watch for Poison Spring, coming in April 2014!
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR JOHNNY D. BOGGS:
It's among the most engaging, interesting westerns I've ever read. Its vividness is palpable. The period details are amazing enough to make me feel that I'm actually there. Very few novelists know how to handle the first person, but Summer Of The Star uses it perfectly. I'm in awe.—David Morrell, best-selling author of First Blood and Murder as a Fine Art
The prolific Boggs intercuts the stories of two Civil War recruits, Missourian Caleb Cole and Texan Ryan McCalla . . . Boggs captures the quick terror of combat in harsh scenes that bring to mind The Red Badge of Courage . . . Students of the battle will note his flawless research.—Booklist on And There I'll Be a Soldier
Boggs, one of the more interesting and exciting of today's western writers, nails another one with this story, based on true events, of a deputy marshal who offers to go round up a particularly dangerous fugitive, his own son. The story is compelling, with plenty of surprises and some adroit social commentary.A guaranteed winner for genre readers.—Booklist on Spur Award Winning Legacy of a Lawman
This is surely one of Boggs' best westerns, an intense and suspenseful story of personal redemption set during one of the most tumultuous times in American history. As always, his characters are sharply drawn, the dialogue rings true, and the story has a solid dramatic core. This is a real winner; recommend it confidently not only to mainstream genre fans but also to those who prefer the more literary, less formulaic brand of western.—David Pitt, Booklist Starred Review on South by Southwest, Spur Award Finalist
With hardly a shot fired, Spur Award--winner Boggs delivers one of his best westerns.—Publishers Weekly on Hard Winter
