Praise for Secession to Siege
“More than just a handsome catalogue of war time prints, Secession to Siege provides a concise, well-written overview of the Charleston Civil War experience. Douglas W. Bostick has given us an excellent introduction to the time and place.”
WILLIAM P. BALDWIN, author of The Hard to Catch Mercy and The Fennel Family Papers, as well as numerous non-fiction books on S.C. history and culture.
“These drawings, like war-time photography and film of later generations, capture the moment in dramatic and telling ways. The book is handsomely laid out and excellently prefaced with background information on the journals, the illustrators and the processes they used. The combined narrative and the visuals afford us a bifocal view of the Civil War era in Charleston in a way never before presented. … This book is perfect for those interested in local history, 19th-century journalism and engravings, the Civil War, and the enduring city of Charleston.”
HARLAN GREENE, author of Slave Badges and the Slave-Hire System in Charleston, South Carolina, 1783-1865
