A Short History of the Best City in the Country
This book is a must for anyone coming to Charleston for the first time. It is also a must for residents who want to "brush up" on their town history. This book should be followed by walks down the streets, through the alleys and along the Battery at dusk. You will probably want to move here.

A Short History of Charleston by Robert N. Rosen
I've just returned from a short visit to Charleston and Rosen's "Short History to Charleston" was a perfect comrade in preparation for the tour. His book is a fun and quick read full of all the sort of information one needs to delect in Charleston's fascinating history. Not only does it give a rather complete, albeit brief, historical account of Charleston's dramatic evolution from beginning to near present day, but every page provides descriptions of remarkable individuals or events which enhance and delight the reader's experience of Charleston's history all of which are most often embellished with remarkable illustrations. I highly recommend this book.
