Overview

The Civil War was one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history and it began in South Carolina. The impact and after-effects of the war still affect us today, but are all the dead at peace? In this book, noted storyteller, folklorist, and author Tally Johnson provides both the ghost stories from throughout South Carolina that the Civil War left behind, as well as providing historical context for the stories. Some tales he debunks; but others, especially ones he personally witnessed, will make you shiver. Told in the voice of a native son of South Carolina, these stories prove that the past is always with us.
