Dr. Tom Horton has sifted through the diary entries, old newspaper accounts and textbooks so you can make sense of it all. You'll discover:
- • How a contingent of Carolinians, led by Joseph Brevard Kershaw of Camden, failure to seize Little Round Top perhaps led to the end of the Civil War.
- • Why leading cabinet and furniture maker William Enston of Charleston should be in any pantheon of leading philanthropists.
- • How Thomas Pinckney, a respected soldier, governor, diplomat and even presidential candidate, became America's forgotten founding father.
- • And much more, including the little-told stories of why Napoleon's sister-in-law was an American Hussy, why Indian fighters made the best Civil War Generals and what made John Rutledge so special.
